[Intro]
I was singing on the rGoad, Many yeCars agGo
I was oCn my oGwn
So fCar from hoGme
Bitter dGays
When I felt like I coCuld not wGin
When I lCost it aGll, and I neDeded a frGiend
WGhoa, wChoGa, oCh, Goh, aD  
[Verse 1]
Well I had up and goGne
When I got Con my oGwn
DNothing lGike the kid I uCsed to kGnow
When I feGel, because I'm a bCigger mGan
That I dDon't need yGou and I doCn't need thGem
[Chorus]
    GSail away, to the lCife we hGad
To the woCrds we sGaid
That we dDon't want to be grown ups
And we'll alwGays believe
Till we nCever preGtend
And at the Cend of the dGay, I still got aDll of friends
I still got aCll of my friGends
[Verse 2]
I'm alGone, in a woCrld unkGnown
ThroDwn my haGnds up from the coCnstant bGlows
So when you fGeel like you're having a hCeart atGtack
Because she brDeaks your hGeart and she wCon't call bGack
[Chorus]
    GSail away, to the lCife we hGad
To the wCords we sGaid
That we dDon't want to be grown ups
And we'll alGways believe
Till we neCver pretGend
And when my hCearts on mGend, I still got aDll of friends
I still got aCll of my frGiends
[Bridge]
G   G    C    C
You need to undGerstand
I need to let you know
No matter whCere we've been
No matter where we go
And when the tGime is right
You'll feel it in your bones
You'll start to sCee the light
A place you used to know
We need to mEmake amends
Because the spDace has grown
So let's all come hCome, home, home home
[Chorus]
     GSail away, to the lCife we Ghad
To the woCrds we sGaid
That we doDn't want to be grown ups
And we'll alGways believe
Till we nCever preGtend
And at the eCnd of the dGay, I still got aDll of friends
I'll tell you where I Ggo
GSail away, to the lCife we hGad
To the wCords we sGaid
That we dDon't want to be grown ups
And we'll alGways believe
Till we nCever preGtend
And at the eCnd of the dGay, I still got aDll of friends
I still got aCll of my frGiends
