(x2)

[verse]

F A7

With an upwind facing starboard

Bb C

I wasn't sure of where to go

And the salt burns my skin

And your eyes were cold as the ocean

[chorus]

This is our day today

Dm C

Won't you find a way back

To these arms

And we're bound for where we started

With a downwind course through the harbour

F Dm

And at sunset I was sorry

That this was our day today

This is our day today

Why can't you find a way

To these arms

And are we bound for where we started

C Bb

'Cause the start is where we're bound to end up

The start is where we're bound

C Bb

And we're bound to end up where the start's at

[verse]

F A7

And when twilight turned to darkness

Bb C

I wasn't sure of where to go

F A7

And the salt burns my skin

Bb C

And your eyes were cold as the ocean

[chorus]

This is our day today

Dm C

Won't you find a way back

To these arms

Why can't you find a way

Won't you find a way back

This is our day today

Find a way back
