[C#] [F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
Sailing on down to [G#m] the [D#m] land
Half a mile to start
[C#] I'm hoping to go away
Maybe she wants to stay
[D#m] I'm having time to try
With all the words you've [C#] got
I'm hoping to go away
[F#] And [C#]
[A#m] [G#] [F#] I [G#]
don't mind
[C#] About the [Fm] things you're [A#m] gonna say, Lord
[G#] [F#] I gave [G#] all my blood
And [C#] I've [Fm] died for [A#m] so [G#] long
[F#] Though [G#] it's a shame
I'm still [C#] looking [G#]
at [A#m] the day

[D#] [C#] on down the [D#m] line
Running out of time
I'm hoping to go away
Maybe she'll be told
It's not [C#] good
Doesn't [A#m] matter
[C#] [F#] [C#] You must need to [D#m] see
Small town boy like me
Just want to buzz on your cup of [G#] tea
[C#] [F#] [C#] It's for thanking
I
[A#m] [F#] gave [G#] you my heart
[C#] And I [G#] tried to [A#m] make you happy
[G#] [F#] And you [G#] gave me the best
[C#] [G#] I [A#m] [G#] know [F#] it's so [G#] hard to say
