[Em] [C] [Em]
[C#] [C] [Em]
If you're drifting on an empty [C] [Em] ocean
With no wind to fill [C] your [Em] sail
The [C#] future your [C] [Em] horizon
It's like searching for the Holy [C] [Em] Grail
[G] You [C#] feel there's no [Em] tomorrow
As you [C#] look into the water [Em] below
[G] There's [C#] only your [C] [Em] reflection
And you still ain't got no place [C] to [Em] go
[B] Time will [G] show
[B] When I [G] don't [B] know
[Am] Sail away [Em] tomorrow
[D] [Am] Sailing far [Em] away
To [Am] find its seal [Em] above the world
[G] I'll be [A] there [B] someday
[G] [B]
[G] I'll [B] be there [Em] someday
[C] [Em] Woman
[C] [Em] I keep returning
To [C#] sing the same [C] old [Em] song
The [C#] story's been told [C] now [Em] I'm getting old
Tell me where do I [C] [Em] belong
I feel like [A] I'm going to [C] surrender
[Em] [G] It's [A] hard times I've had enough
[Em] If [A] I could find a place [C] to [Em] hide my face
I [A] believe I could get [Em] back up
[B] Time [D]
[G] will show
[B] When [D] I [G] don't [B] know
[Am] Sail away [Em] tomorrow
