[A] [G] [D]
[A] [D] [A] Got out of town [G] on a boat on the [D] southern islands, [A] sailing the reach [G] for a [D] following [A] sea.
She was making [G] for the trades [D] on the outside, [A] and the downhill [G] run too [D] fucking big.
[A]
Off the wind [G] on this peddling [D] lava marquesa, [A] you got eighty [G] feet of a water line, [D] [A] nice to make your way.
In a noisy [G] bar in Avalon [D] I tried to call you, [A] but on the midnight [G] watch I realized [D] why [Bm] twice you [A] ran away.
[G] Think about [D] how many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen, [D] spirits are using [G] me, larger [A] voices [G] callin',
what can run [D] you [G] and me, can I [A] be forgotten?
I [D] have been around [G] [A] the world, [D] looking [G] for that far [A] one girl, who [D]
knows [G] love can [A] endure.
And you know it [G] will, [D]
[A] [G] [D] [A]
when you see the [G] southern cross [D] for the first time,
[A] you understand [G] now why you [D] came this way, [A]
cause the truth you [G] might be running [D] from is so small,
[A] but it's as big [G] as the coming, [D] the [Bm] promise of the [A] coming day.
So I'm sailing [G] for tomorrow, [D] my dreams are a dying, [A] and my love [G] is an anchor [D] tied to you, [Bm] tied with a [A] silver chain.
I have my ship, [G] and all her [D] flags are a flying, [A] she is all that [G] I have left, [D] and [Bm] music [A] is her name.
[G] Think about [D] how many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen, [D] spirits are using [G] me, larger [A] voices [G] callin',
what [D] can run you and [G] me, can I [A] be forgotten?
I have [D] been around [G] the [A] world, [D] looking [G] for that far [A] one girl, [D] who knows [G] love [A] can endure.
And you know it will, [G] [D]
and you [A] know [G] it [D] will.

So we cheated and [G] we lied [D] and we tested, [A] and we never [G] failed to fail,
it [D] was the easiest [A] thing to do, you will [G] survive being [D] bested.
[A] Somebody fine [G] will come [D] along, make me forget [Bm] about loving [A] you,
in the southern cross.
