G
We've been sweethearts for so long
C
But now you say we're through
D7 G
The love we shared is now a memory
I had built a ship of dreams
C
And planned them all for you
D7 G
And now I guess what is to be will be
I'll sail my ship alone
D7
With all the dreams I own
G
Drifting out across the ocean blue
I'll sail my ship alone
D7
Though all the sails you've torn
G
And when it starts to sink then I'll blame you
I gave a message to the wind
C
To take back home to you
D7 G
Hoping you would hear my S.O.S.
Maybe you would come back home
C
My darling if you knew
D7 G
How much my aching heart is in distress
I'll sail my ship alone
D7
With all the dreams I own
G
Drifting out across the ocean blue
I'll sail my ship alone
D7
Though all the sails you've torn
G
And when it starts to sink then I'll blame you
