[C#m] My beloved,
[C] this man's life [G#m] has been one great big storm.
[G#] [E]
[A] With waves of confusion, [C] and waves of [E] delusion.
[G#m] Sometimes it seems so cloudy, [Bm] I [E] don't think I've [C#m] found my way.
[C] Oh no, okay.
[G] It [E] seemed like all hope [G#m] was drifting away like drift [D] fuel.
[E] [A] But since you've been my first [C] mate, I won't sail my [E] ship without you.
You don't know.
[G#m] I'm the captain of my life, [C#] the master of [A] my destiny.
[G#m] But without your guiding love, I'm lost just [E] like a ship at [A] sea.
Without a compass [F#m] or telescope, baby.
[C#m] I need the help you [E] give to keep my life afloat.
[C#m] My
[G] [C]
ship won't [E] sail without you, baby.
[G#m] Restore [G#] me [E] well.
[C#m] My
[G] [C]
ship won't [E] sail without you.
Maybe a dream will wake me up [B] on some distant [A]
shore.
[E] But a dream not shared with you [G#] is not worth searching for.
[C#m] I might as well jump [F#m] overboard than to journey this alone.
[C#m] Cause without you in my boat, [A] I'm [E] already sunk.
[C#m] My
[G] [C]
ship won't [E] sail without you.
[G#m] Oh yeah.
[G#]
[E] [A]
[C] My ship won't [E] sail without you.
Yes, I was [A]
shipwrecked.
[E] [G#m] And all alone [G#] at sea.
[E]
[C#m] But it was your harbor [F#m] lights that [C#m] set my mind [E] loose.
You stayed [C#m] in my heart.
[G] [C]
My ship won't sail [E] without [G#m] you, baby.
Oh, [Bm] I can't go
[E] on.
[C#m] I can't do it.
[C] Shine on me.
Shine [E] on me.
Yeah, yeah.
[A] Without you.
[C] Without you.
My ship won't [E] sail without you, baby.
[G#m] No.
[D]
[E] [C#m] I was shipwrecked, baby.
[Am] And all alone at sea.
[E] But it was your harbor lights that led me out to sea.
[C#m] My, my, my, [C] my.
My, my, my, my, my.
[G#m] My, my, my, my, my.
Oh, my.
