Verse 
G           D           C/G 
Just like a gull I will slip into the horizon 
G     D           C/G 
Never to be seen again 
G            D          C/G 
And when I'm wallowing upon the seabound course I'm on 
G             D        C/G 
I hope she'll never forget 


Chorus 
G           D              C/G 
Just like a swallow I will never be too far away 
G          D        C/G 
Your image keeps me warm 
G              D              C/G 
And when I was off alone with water rough and sky of gray 
G        D               C/G 
I'd make fantasia in the storm 
   C/G              D*           G     D C/G 
Oh babe I'd make fantasia in the storm 


Bridge 
         Em                          C          G 
Oh but I know things just won't turn out like I planned 
     G                   C 
I'll just have to set my sail 
        Am                       C/G 
But the look of your eyes when I held you there 
            C/G                 D 
Oh babe you blew me away like a gale 
            C/G     D*          G    D C/G 
Oh babe you blew me away like a gale 



G           D              C/G 
Just like a swallow I will never be too far away 
G          D        C/G 
Your image keeps me warm 
G              D               C/G 
And when I was off at sea with water rough and sky of gray 
G        D               C/G 
I'd make fantasia in the storm 
   C/G              D*           G     D C/G 
Oh babe I'd make fantasia in the storm 


Outro 
         Em                          C          G 
Oh but I know things just won't turn out like I planned 
     G                   C 
I'll just have to set my sail 
        Am                       C/G 
But the look of your eyes when I held you there 
            C/G                 D 
Oh babe you blew me away like a gale 
            C/G     D*          G    D C/G 
Oh babe you blew me away like a gale
