Aa stronger girl would Ebrush this off in flight
Anever giving C#mmore than a frowning Dhour
Abut you have let your heart deciC#mde
Eloss has conquered youD  E  
Dand you Ewon one too many Dfights
wearin' Emany hats every Dtime
but you Ewon't win here toniAghtD  E  
Ayou made it through the Edirest of straits all right
Acan you help it if plain C#mlove now seems less inDteresting
Abut you haven't changed an C#mounce in my eyes
and I Ecannot lecture youD  E  
Adoes anything I Esay seem relevant at all
Ayou've been at the C#mhelm since you were just 5Dive
Aand I cannot clC#maim to be more than a pasEsengerD  E  
Dwell you won Eone too many Dfights
wearin' aEll of your clothes at the sDame time
dEo you want an end tonightF#m  
Goh girl, sail and don't Dsink her

this time...
do do, da das...
(it's late and I'm a little lost in this area, but it picks back up again.
you get the idea.)
just a moment to find out
not a mind will retain even a trace
with the thoughts that we struggle to tell
and now our stack of cards just fell
to settle this one time for all the light
no longer shows the cracks around your door
and I have no lantern to light your way home tonight
you are not some saint who's above
we're not gonna stroll through the flowers
you got so much more to dream of
oh girl, sail and don't sink her
this time...
this time...
this time...
