Fm              F# 
It was meant to be a holiday 
D 
Building castles by the sea 
A               E 
Another way to live for you and me 
F#m                     B       Bm 
Time to pause, consider what we've done 
F#              C# 
The wind is blowing, so come, 
                F#      C# 
Let's take a holiday 

Fm              F# 
How was I to know quite so soon 
D 
That dreams can turn a life, around it seems 
A               E 
There is no single way to live our days 
F#m                     B       Bm 
Between these lines I know you see a man 
F#              C# 
Who's not quite sure who he is 
                F#      C# 
Or where he stands 

F#      B       C# 
Sail on 
F#              B       C# 
Sail on, across the sea 
F#              B       C# 
Ride the waves, feel the breeze 
F#      B       C# 
Sail on 
F#      B       C# 
There's no other way I'd rather be 
F#      C#      G# 

Ebm             Bb 
Destiny, reality are just a dream 
Ebm             Bbm 
Raise the sails, the wind is free 
G#              Eb 
Every day I become more confused 
C#              G# 
Which way to go, how to choose 

( Fm  F#  D  A  E  F#m  B  Bm  F#  C#  F#  C#  G# ) 

Fm              F# 
Back at home, what holds me here 
D 
Shut in not moving, only half a life 
A               E 
Clouds hang heavy, they leave me cold 
F#m             B       Bm 
It doesn't have to be this way 
F# 
The wind is blowing, so come, 
        C# 
Let's take a holiday 

F#      B       C# 
Sail on 
F#              B       C# 
Sail on, across the sea

Ride the waves, feel the breeze

There's no other way I'd rather be
