[D] [A]
off the wind
[G] Oh, you're setting the hands [D] of all cases.
[A] You've got 80 [G] feet of waterline, [D] nicely [A] making way.
In a noisy [G] bar, we'd have a lot of [D] heads to call you.
[A] On a midnight [G] watch, I realize [D] why twice [G] you [A] ran away.
[G] Think [D] about how many [G] times you
[A] fall.

[A] You understand [G] now why you [D] came this way.
[A]
The truth you [G] might be coming [D] from is so small.
But [A] it's as big [G] as the promise, [D] the promise of the coming [A]
day.
So I'm sailing [G] for tomorrow, my [D] dreams must be carrying.
[A] In my love, [G] there's an anchor tied [D] to you,
tied to the [A] silver chain.
I have my ship [G] on the [D] flags of a flag.
She [A] might be all that I [G] have left.
[D] And music is [A] her name.
[G] Think [D] about how many [G] times I [A] have fallen.
[G] [D] Spirit, I need you.
[G] Lots of voices [A]
call.
[G] What [D] happened brought you and [G] me.
Cannot [A] be forgotten.
I [D] have been
[G] [A] looking [D] [A] [D]
[G] for that woman [A] who [D]
knows [G] love can [A] end.
[D] And [A] you know what we [G] mean.
[D]
And you [A] know [G] what we mean.
[D]
[A] So we cheated [Gm] and we laughed [D] and we tested.
[A] And we never [G] failed to fail.
[D] It was the easiest [A] thing to do.
You will [G] survive.
You [D] invested.
[A] Somebody find, [G] come along, [D] make me forget about [A] loving you.
[E] In the [A] Southern Cross.
[G] [D]
In the [A] Southern [G] Cross.
