[Am]
[G] The man who sailed around [B] his soul, from east to west, from pole to [E] pole, with eager eyes,
his drunken captain [Gm] greed, the [Db] mutineer [Gb] that trapped [Am] for reason, [G] oh.
[A]
The man who walked [N] across his heart, and took no compass, guide, or chart,
to romanticise [Bm] blood congealed, when he found himself [Em] revealed, [B] oh.
[Ebm] [Bbm] And the sirens [B] that sing, [Db] for your nose [C] with its [E] ring, will [Abm] drag you in,
[E] for [Abm] your sins.
[Em] [Ebm] [Bbm] Now he sits all [Ebm] alone, [Db] and his whole place, [E] like home, is [Abm] empty skin,

[Em]
The man who walked across his heart, was doomed to journey to the start,
for the [C] riddle of a fair he'd [E] broken off, the lies [G] he'd e'er [E] bespoke, intact, you'd only [C] find.
[Bbm] And the jellyfish sting, even angels with [Abm] wings, do look to keep,
the dead to keep.
[Am] [Bbm]
Now he sits all alone, knowing [Db] flesh, blood, and [Am] bone [Abm] is everything,
[E] he found the treasure [G] he'd been [A] seeking.
