[C#m] [G#m] [A] [E] [B]
[C#m] [G#m] [A] [E] [B] [A] [E]
[A] Sail away [E] to [A] a place across [E] the sea, leave today
So [A] you cannot [E] bother me, [A] and you cannot [E] fail to see
[B] That it doesn't really matter [E] much to me
[B] No, it doesn't [A] really matter that [E] much to me
Oh, I'm blown away
[A] Every time I [E] wanted you, you played away
[A] So I thought I'd [E] try to, [A] see what [E] I could do
[B] But it didn't really matter [E] much to me
No, [B] it didn't [A] really matter that [E] much to me
Lived [A] on the East Side, [E] looking through the West Side
[A] Looking on the Bright [C#m] Side, [B] Bright Side
[A] Stepping over that line, [E] checking out the West Side
[A] Making up for lost [C#m] time, [B] lost time
[E]
Sail away, [A] don't believe I [E] give a damn, go today
Don't [A] treat me [E] as I am, [A] I'll remember [E] when I can
[B] And it doesn't really matter [E] much to me
[B] No, it doesn't [A] really matter that [E] much to me
Lived [A] on the East Side, [E] looking through the West Side
[A] Looking on the Bright [C#] Side, [B] Bright Side
[C#] Stepping [A] over that line, [E] checking out the West Side
Making [A] up for lost [C#] time, [B] lost time
[F#] [C#m] [G#m] [C#]
[A] [E] [C#m] [G#m]
[A] [E] [C#m] [G#m]
[A] [E] [B] [E]
[B] [Bm] [E] Sail away, [A] don't believe I [E] found a way, go today
[A] It's the thing that I'm [E] gonna write, [A] the story [E] of my life
[B] And it doesn't really matter [E] much to me
And [B] it doesn't [A] really matter that [E] much to me
[A] Lived on the East Side, [E] looking through the West Side
[A] Looking on the Bright [C#m] Side, [B] Bright Side
[A] Stepping over that line, [E] checking out the West Side
[A] Making up for lost [C#m] time, [B] lost time
[A] Lived on the East Side, [E] looking through the West Side
