[Intro]
C G D G
[Verse]
I Ghad a plan when CI was young, Git involved some Chavin' fun,
EmI need to find someCone to love, Gdo some things to Dbe proud of.
GI live as fast CI could live, and Ggive it all, that CI could give,
EmNever think aCbout the end, Galways be someDbody's Gfriend.
[Chorus]
I Cwatched the bow go high and low, steer my vessel Gthrough the flow,
Times the ocean 'neath the Dkeel, I will hold on to the Gwheel.C  G  D  G  
[Verse]
I Glit the candle Cat both ends, Glet the years slip Cthrough my hands,
I Emdid what I beClieved was right, Gnever had to Drun or hide.
GFriends I found and Cfriends I lost, Gashes to ashes and Cdust to dust,
EmI know each day could Cbe my last, and Gset the sail upDon the Gmast.
[Chorus]
I Cwatched the bow go high and low, steer my vessel Gthrough the flow,
Times the ocean 'neath the Dkeel, I will hold on to the Gwheel.C  G  D  G  
[Interlude]
 G   C   G   C   Em   C   G   D(x2) G  
[Verse]
Was Gquite successful Cwith my plan, as GI would do it Call again,
EmThings I needed Ccame to me, I Greally went out Don a spree.
Do I Gneed a plan for Cgrowin' old, Gyoung and restless Cyears concluded,
EmNever thought I'd Cget this far, my Gthoughts are getting Dall exGcluded.
[Chorus]
I Cwatched the bow go high and low, steer my vessel Gthrough the flow,
Times the ocean 'neath the Dkeel, I will hold on to the Gwheel.C  G  D  G
