[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D] [A] Got out of town [G] on a boat going to [D] Southern Island
[A] Sailing the reach [G] for a [D] following [A] sea
She was making [G] for the trades [D] on the outside
And [A] the downhill [G] run to [D] Fanta Apec
[A]
Off the wind [G] on this peddling [D] lather, Marquesa
[A] You got 80 [G] feet of a water [D] line, nicely [A] making way
In a noisy [G] bar in Avalon [D] I tried to call you
[A] But on a midnight [G] watch I realized, [D] white [Bm] flash you [A] ran away
[G] Think about, think [D] about how many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen
[D] Spirits are using [G] me, larger [A] voices [G] callin'
What [D] heaven brought you [G] and me, can I [A] be forgotten?
Been [D] around the world, [G] [A] [D] looking, looking [G] for that woman [A] girl
Who [D] knows, who knows, who knows [G] love can [A] endure
And you know it [G] will
[D] When
[A] [G] [D] [A]
you see the [G] Southern Cross [D] for the first time
You [A] understand [G] now why you [D] came this way
[A] Cause the truth you [G] might be running [D] from is so small
[A] But it's as big [G] as the promise, [D] the [Bm] promise of a [A] coming day
So I'm sailing [G] for tomorrow, my [D] dreams are a dying
And [A] my love [G] is an anchor [D] tied to you, [Bm] tied with a [A] silver chain
I have my ship [G] and all the [D] flags are a flying
She [A] is all that [G] I have left [D] and [Bm] music [A] is her name
[G] Think about, think about how [D] many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen
[D] Spirits are using [G] me, larger [A] voices [G] callin'
What [D] heaven brought you and [G] me, can I [A] be forgotten?
I've been around the world, I have [D] been around, [G] [A]
[D] looking, looking [G] for that woman [A] girl
[D] Who knows [G] love [A] can endure
And you know it [G] will
And [D]
you [A] know [G] it will
[D] [A]
[G] So [D]
[A] [G] [D] [A]
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [D] [A]
we cheated and [G] we lied and [D] we tested
And [A] we never failed [G] to fail, [D] it was the easiest [A] thing to do
You will [G] survive, be [D] invested
[A] Somebody fine [G] will come [D] along and make me [Bm] forget about loving [A] you
In the Southern [G] Cross
[D] [A] [G] [D]
