[Eb] [Ab]
[Cm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Ab] On a sailboat I am, slowly floating [Cm]
nowhere.
[Eb] Lost [Abm] the [Ab] memories [Cm]
of where I [F] am and [Bb] why.
[Eb] Black ocean [Ab]
shining, [C] a million [Ab] stars are [Eb] burning.
[Ab] Planetariums were [Cm] right above [Bb] the sky.
[Ab] Oh, once upon [Eb] a day, I [Ebm] set off on a [Ab] journey.
Wishing on [Eb] the wind to take me far [Ab] from home.
Now I'm on [Eb] the waves, and I'm [Bb] taking on [F]
water.
[Ab] Hard to [Eb] see.
[B] I won't [Fm] always [Eb] be alone.
There was a [Ab] time when all the [Cm] sun was high and centered on [Eb] me.
But it [Ab] dipped behind my back and settled [Bb] down.
[Eb]
[Cm] I used to square up with the land.
Used [Ab] to size it [Eb] in my hand.
But it fell behind the line that [Cm] meets the [Bb] sky.
[Ab] Oh, once [Eb] upon a day, I set off on a [Abm] journey.
Wishing [Eb] on the wind to take me [Ab] far from home.
Now I'm on [Eb] the waves, and I'm [Bb] taking on [F] water.
[Ab]
Hard to see.
[Ebm] I won't always [Eb] be alone.
Inside [Ab] this stone, [Eb] whipping in the wind,
my sail [Ab] is torn.
Another [Eb] world lands.
I'm [Db] in [Ab] another now.
[Eb]
Oh.
[Ab]
Oh.
[Eb] [Cm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] Hard [F] [Eb] to [Ab] see.
[Ebm] I won't always [Db] be [Eb] alone.
[Ab] [Cm]
[Bb] [Eb] On a [Ab] sailboat, I am [C] slowly floating [Ab] on [Eb] wind,
hoping [Ab]
someday I'll wash [Cm] upon someone else's shore.
