D We've been sweethearts for so long
But now you say, "We're G thru!"
The A7 love we shared is now a memo-{D} ry
I had built a ship of dreams
And planned them all for G you
And A7 now I guess what is to be will D be.
Chorus
D I'll sail my ship alone
With A7 all the dreams I own
Drifting out across the ocean D blue
I'll sail my ship alone
Tho' A7 all the sails, you've torn
And when it starts to sink, then I'll blame D you.
{D}I'm just like a ship at sea
That's lost without a G sail
The A7 dark clouds hide the sun from up a-{D}bove
And even with these broken dreams
My heart will never G fail
For A7 deep inside there's only one true D love.
Chorus
{D}I gave a message to the wind
To take back home to G you
Hopin' A7 you would hear my D S.O.S.
Maybe you would come back home
My darling, if you G knew
How A7 much my aching heart is in dis-{D} tress.
Chorus
