Verse 1
GAt times like this, I G/F#wish I were a Em7sailor.Em11  
And could Cadd9sail far aEm11way to hidden Dsus4lands.Dsus4/F#  
With the Gsea below and the G/F#sky above,
The Em7horizon the only Em11thing to love
and Cadd9anchors tattooed Em11on my chest and Dsus4hands.Dsus4/F#  
St. GChristopher alone G/F#would guide my Em7passage.Em11  
The Cadd9sun and moon Em11alone would light the Dsus4way.Dsus4/F#  
The Gsmell of salt would G/F#fill my nose
In pEm7lace of the one Em11left on my clothes
and the Cadd9silence as I'm Em11wishing she could Dsus4stay.Dsus4/F#  
Chorus
Oh Cadd9I'll let the currents carry D7me now,
GBaptize myself in Dsus4/F#waves of the Em7lost and the Em11found.
I'll Cadd9float across this world and D7I'll sing the things I see.
Let the Gwater wash Dsus4/F#away all these Em7painful memories
Cadd9'Till they mean D7nothing to Gme.
Verse 2
What I'd Ggive to be the G/F#one who's always Em7leaving.Em11  
Cadd9Instead of being the Em11one that's always lDsus4eft.Dsus4/F#  
To feel Gwanderlust inG/F#stead of love,
'Cause Em7surely that would Em11be enough
To Cadd9take me away from this Em11entire fucking Dsus4mess.Dsus4/F#  
Now Gadmittedly I got G/F#myself in to Em7this.Em11  
But now Cadd9all I really wEm11ant is to get ouDsus4t.           Dsus4/F#  
To be the Gperson that I G/F#was before
Who Em7looked around Em11himself and saw
A Cadd9world a little wider than Em11the one to which he Dsus4was boundDsus4/F#.
Chorus
Oh Cadd9I'll let the currents carry D7me now,
GBaptize myself in Dsus4/F#waves of the Em7lost and the Em11found.
I'll Cadd9float across this world and D7I'll sing the things I see.
Let the Gwater wash Dsus4/F#away all these Em7painful memories
Cadd9'Till they mean D7nothing to me.
G      Dsus4/F#
Bridge
But I'm Em7standing on solid Dsus4/F#ground now, not the Cadd9waves.
Yet I Em7feel a little Dsus4/F#seasick all the Cadd9same.
There's Em7nowhere now that Dsus4/F#I can go.
I'm Cadd9sick and tired of sleeping alone.
How the Em7hell am I Dsus4/F#supposed to win this Cadd9game?D7  
When she's Galways gonna Dsus4/F#have the upper hand,Em7  
Oh, Cadd9just as long as D7we are on dry Gland.

Intro

G G/F# Em7 Em11 Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 Dsus4/F#

Verse 1

G G/F# Em7 Em11

At times like this, I wish I were a sailor.

Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 Dsus4/F#

And could sail far away to hidden lands.

G G/F#

With the sea below and the sky above,

Em7 Em11

The horizon the only thing to love

Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 Dsus4/F#

and anchors tattooed on my chest and hands.

G G/F# Em7 Em11

St. Christopher alone would guide my passage.

Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 Dsus4/F#

The sun and moon alone would light the way.

G G/F#

The smell of salt would fill my nose

Em7 Em11

In place of the one left on my clothes

Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 Dsus4/F#

and the silence as I'm wishing she could stay.

Chorus

Cadd9 D7

Oh I'll let the currents carry me now,

G Dsus4/F# Em7 Em11

Baptize myself in waves of the lost and the found.

Cadd9 D7

I'll float across this world and I'll sing the things I see.

G Dsus4/F# Em7

Let the water wash away all these painful memories

Cadd9 D7 G

'Till they mean nothing to me.

Verse 2

G G/F# Em7 Em11

What I'd give to be the one who's always leaving.

Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 Dsus4/F#

Instead of being the one that's always left.

G G/F#

To feel wanderlust instead of love,

Em7 Em11

'Cause surely that would be enough

Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 Dsus4/F#

To take me away from this entire fucking mess.

G G/F# Em7 Em11

Now admittedly I got myself in to this.

Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 Dsus4/F#

But now all I really want is to get out.

G G/F#

To be the person that I was before

Em7 Em11

Who looked around himself and saw

Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 Dsus4/F#

A world a little wider than the one to which he was bound.

Chorus

Cadd9 D7

Oh I'll let the currents carry me now,

G Dsus4/F# Em7 Em11

Baptize myself in waves of the lost and the found.

Cadd9 D7

I'll float across this world and I'll sing the things I see.

G Dsus4/F# Em7

Let the water wash away all these painful memories

Cadd9 D7

'Till they mean nothing to me.

G Dsus4/F#

Bridge

Em7 Dsus4/F# Cadd9

But I'm standing on solid ground now, not the waves.

Em7 Dsus4/F# Cadd9

Yet I feel a little seasick all the same.

Em7 Dsus4/F#

There's nowhere now that I can go.

Cadd9

I'm sick and tired of sleeping alone.

Em7 Dsus4/F# Cadd9 D7

How the hell am I supposed to win this game?

G Dsus4/F# Em7

When she's always gonna have the upper hand,

Cadd9 D7 G

Oh, just as long as we are on dry land.

Final Chorus

Cadd9 D7

Oh I'll let the currents carry me now,

G Dsus4/F# Em7 Em11

Baptize myself in waves of the lost and the found.

Cadd9 D7

I'll float across this world and I'll sing the things I see.

G Dsus4/F# Em7

Let the water wash away all these painful memories

Cadd9 D7 G

'Till they mean nothing to me.

Cadd9 D7 G C G Dsus4 G
