Standing at [A] the end of an endless ocean, standing [F#] like a runaway [B] lost at sea.
Sitting [F#] on a rainy [A] day down in the harbor, watching [F#] as the crane cries a [B] shadowless fate.
Looking [E] everywhere, it feels [A] like I have to find you.
This is [F#] not the way that I [B] remember it used to be.
If [E] anyone will tell [A] you it's a prison island, hidden [F#] in the summer for [B] a million years,
Great [C#] Summerland, [C#m]
[C#]
a new land.
So you're looking [A] to the land, it will tell you the story,
a story [B] about a dillion years and hundreds of goals.
Listening [F#] to the motion [A] of the wind in the mountains,
maybe [B] you can even talk to me like I do.
They're gonna [F#] picture you, [A] they're gonna forget you,
or you're gonna [F#] let them take [B] you over that wind.

watching [F#] as the grey clouds [B] shadow her face.
