[F#m] [G]
[D] [A] [D] [Bm]
[D] [A] [G]
[A] [D] Sail [A] my whole life [G] on bloodied [Bm] seas, [D] [A] Sail on through [G] the storm,
Laughs [A] in hard [D] times, cries [G] in the sea, [D] [A]
Taking it all [G] back [D] [A]
[G] home,
[D] [A]
[D] [G] [D] Walk [A] through [G] storms and [Bm] shadowed [D] valleys, [A]
Sail on [G] through the storm,
[Bm] [A]
Asking questions [D] that had [G] no [D] answers, [A]
Taking it all [G] back home,
[D] Taking [A]
it all [G] back home, [D] Seen loved [A] ones born,
[G] Seen [Bm] loved ones [D] die, Sail on [G] through the storm,
[A] Rocked with laughter, [D] I'm shook [G] with [D] crying, [A]
Taking it [G] all back,
[D] Taking it [G] all back home, [D] [A]
[G] [D] [A]
[G] [D] Down and [A] out, [G] behind [Bm] my [D] seat,
[A]
Sail on [G] through the storm, [A] Being a peacemaker,
[D] Then [G] a [D] fighter, [A]
Taking it all [G] back home,
[Bm] [A]
Taking it all [D] back home, Seen loved
[A] ones,
[G] Sail on, [D]
[Em] [G] [D] Sail on, [A] Sail on,
Only [G] a fool [Bm] breaks their [A] heart for [G] what is gone,
[A] [D] No real [A] love [G] and the joy [Bm] you get,
[D] Sail on through the [G]
storm, [Bm] Saw [A] it die, [D] but I kept [G] on living,
[D] Taking it all [G] back home, [D] [A] Taking it all [G] back,
Live [D] [A] with love [G] and live [Bm]
without [D] [A] it, Sail on [G] through the storm,
[A] Still believe [D] that I'll never [G]
down [D] to earth, [A] Taking it all [G] back home,
[Bm] [A] Taking it all [D] back home, Sail on, [A] Sail on,
[G] Sail on, [D] Sail [Em] [G]
[D] on, [A] Sail on,
[G] Sail on to where [D] I truly [G] do belong, [A] [D] Sail on, [A] Sail on, [G] Sail on,
Don't waste your [D] time asking, [Em] What a time you've [G] spent,
Sail [A] [D] on, [A] Sail on, Sail on,
[G] Only a fool [Em] breaks their [A] heart for [G] what is gone,
