                           G        Em    
Taking on water, sailing a restless sea    
           Am  G  C  D Am    
From a memory, a  fantasy    
                            G     
The wind carries into white water                          
             Em       Am    G   C    D    
Far from the Islands, don't you know you're...    


   
Em D            C    
Ne-ver going to get to France    
     D                         Em    
Mary Queen of Chance will they find you    
Em D            C    
Ne-ver going to get to France    
        D                Em        Am   G   Am    
Could a new romance ever bind you    


                           G      Em    
Walking on foreign grounds like a shadow    
               Am  G  C D Am    
Roaming in far off territory    
                                   
Over your shoulder, stories unfold    
G                    Em     Am  G   C    D    
You're searching for sanctuary, you know you're...    


  
Em D            C    
Ne-ver going to get to France    
     D                         Em    
Mary Queen of Chance will they find you    
Em D            C    
Ne-ver going to get to France    
        D                Em           
Could a new romance ever bind you    


Bridge:    
C             G                  C   D    
I see your picture by the lamp's flicker    
C                G                   C   D    
Isn't it strange how dreams fade and shimmer?    


  
Em D            C    
Ne-ver going to get to France    
     D                         Em    
Mary Queen of Chance will they find you    
Em D            C    
Ne-ver going to get to France    
        D                Em           
Could a new romance ever bind you
