Intro: C 
C                F 
Now   we´ve run aground 
            C                      F 
These tired sail   can carry us no more 
                Am 
They´re hanging down 
        G                             C 
and our weary flag is torn we´ve run aground 

               G                          Am 
Ohhhh turn and face the wind   leave this hurt behind 
                F 
there´s a storm coming in 
C                G                    Am 
Ohhhh lets ride upon a wave   live to tell the tale 
         F 
as we´ll find our ...  

C                  F 
rest  now seas are calm  
          C                      F 
and dying down   we´re save from harm 
              Am 
i´ll steer us straight 
        G                                     C 
and the rest will follow through now seas are calm 

               G                          Am 
Ohhhh turn and face the wind   leave this hurt behind 
                F 
there´s a storm coming in 
C                G                    Am 
Ohhhh lets ride upon a wave   live to tell the tale 
         F 
as we´ll find our ...  

    C 
The hurt  the highs  the hate  disguised 
    F 
and in  between  the hell  we´ve seen 
  C                    G 
i held you close    as you were leaving 
    C 
you try  to fix  a broken  friend 
     F                                C 
when we  survive  it all  depends  on if you go 
   G                    C 
is no plain sailing you know 

               G                          Am 
Ohhhh turn and face the wind   leave this hurt behind 
                F 
there´s a storm coming in 
C                G                    Am 
Ohhhh lets ride upon a wave   live to tell the tale 
         F                         G          C 
as we´ll find it out      as we´ll fi-i-ind a way
