[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] We got out of [G] town on a boat [D] to the southern island
[A] On a reef [G] before [D] the following sea
[A] We were making [G] for the trade on [D] the outside
[A] On the [G] downwind one [D] to copy [A] 810
On this sailing [G] off the wind by the [D] Mark Haven
We [A] got 80 feet [G] of water line
[D] Nice and vague [A] in the way
In a noisy [G] foreign avalanche I [D] try to call
But [A] on the midnight I [G] watch I realize
[D] Why twice you [A] ran away
Think [G] about, think [D] about how many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen
[D] Spirits are using [G] me, larger [A] voices [G] calling
Whatever [D] brought you and [G] me cannot [A] be forgotten
I have [D] been around [G] [A]
[D] looking [G] for that woman [A] girl
Who [D] does [G] love can [A] endure
And you know it really, [G] [D]
you [A] know it really
[G] [D]
[A] When you've seen the [G] southern cross [D] for the first time
[A] You'll understand [G] that's why you [D] came this [A] way
Cause the truth [G] you've been running [D] from is so small
[A] But it's as [G] big as the promise, [D] the promise of a [A] coming day
And I'm headed [G] all the way, a [D] few years or a dime
[A] And my love [G] is an echo [D] tied to you, [G] tied with a [A] silver chain
I have my ship [G] and all my [D] flags are a-flyin'
[A] She is all [G] that I have left [D] and her music [A] is her name
[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] calling
[D] Whatever brought you and [G] me cannot [A] be forgotten
I have been around [D] [G] looking [A]
[D] for [G] that woman [A] girl
Who [D] does [G] love [A] can endure
And you know it really, [G] [D]
you [A] know it really
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] So we cheated [G] and we tried [D] and we tested
And [A] we never [G] failed to fail, [D] it was the [G] easiest [A] thing to do
You [G] will survive the [D]
investment
[A] Somebody's drunk, dropped the law, [G] makes me forget
[D] Forget [G] about loving [A] you
And the southern cross
