[Verse]

G Em D Dsus2 D

Before the war I had no need for traveling,

C/G G

Indeed I do not know what made it so important to leave

Gsus2 G Em D Dsus2 D

And after all this time I found that I'm avoiding thee

Am C/G

For nothing more or less then fear

G Em D Dsus2 D

Of what I have to gain from staying in the clear

Am C/G G Gsus2 G

Although it's only coming home that brings you near

[Verse]

G Em D Dsus2 D

Master Dawn my brother is a sailor

C/G G Gsus2 G

Upon this ship of life we are the masts, the sails, and the wind

G Em D Dsus2 D

And you can understand, we need a hand to guide us in

Am C/G

So many claim to be the one

G Em D Dsus2 D

But like a shadow on the sun they fade and spin

Am C/G G Gsus2 G

And we are scattered on the ocean once again

[Verse]

G Em D Dsus2 D

Before the war I had no need for traveling,

C/G G

Indeed I do not know what made it so important to leave

Gsus2 G Em D Dsus2 D

And after all this time I found that I'm avoiding thee

Am C/G

For nothing more or less then fear

G Em D Dsus2 D

Of what I have to gain from staying in the clear

Am C/G G Gsus2 G

Although it's only coming home that brings you near

Am C/G G Gsus2 G

Although it's only coming home that brings a tear
