You want to hear a new song?
Alright, I'll play you a new song, and I'll play you a new song that is
The second verse isn't done.
The second verse isn't good enough.
And the bridge isn't good enough.
So it's not done yet.
But because I've had such an amazing experience here, where people have opened up so instantly and deeply
in playing songs that they just wrote four days ago and just opening up,
I feel like this is my giving back to you.
So here's a song that I'm not quite done with yet.
[Eb] On
[Cm]
[Eb]
[Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] a [Ab]
sailboat I [Cm] am, slowly [Ab] floating nowhere
[Eb] Lost the memories of [Cm] where I am and [Bb] why
[Eb] Black ocean [Ab] churning, a million stars are burning
[Eb]
Planetariums [Ab] were right about the [Bb] sky
[Ab] Oh, once upon a [Eb] day, I [Ebm] set off on a [Ab] journey
Wishing on [Eb] the wind to take [Ebm] me far from home
[Eb] Now I'm on the waves, and [C] I'm taking [F] on water
Hard [Eb] to see, I won't [Db] always be [Eb] alone
There was a time when all the sun was high and centered [Cm] on me
[Eb] But [Ab] it dipped behind my back [Cm] and settled [Bb] down
[Eb] I used to square up with the [Cm] land, used [Fm] to size it [Cm] in my hand
But it [Ab] fell behind the [Cm] line that meets [Bb] the sky
[Eb] Oh, once upon a day, I [Ebm] set off on a [Ab] journey
Wishing on the [Eb] wind to take [Ebm] me far from home
[Abm] Now I'm on the [Eb] waves, and [Bb] I'm taking [F] on water
[Fm] Hard to [Eb] see, I won't always be [C] alone
[Ab] Inside this storm, whipping in the wind
[Eb] My sail [Ab] is torn, [Eb] in other words
[Ebm] Lance, [Db] I'm in [Ab] a nightmare
[Eb] Oh,
[Ebm] [F]
[Ab] [Eb] oh,
[Ebm] [Ab]
[Eb] oh
[F] Hard
[Fm] [Eb] to see, I won't always [Db] be [Eb] alone
[Eb]
[Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] On a [Ab] sailboat, I am slowly floating on wind
Hoping someday I'll wash [Cm] upon someone [Bb]
else's shore
[Eb]
Alright, I'll play you a new song, and I'll play you a new song that is
