Intro: :2/4: Bbm7 | Bbm7
       Bbm | G#/C
       C# G#/C Bbm7 G# | F# F#sus2

       G# | F# F
       Bbm Bbm7add11 | Bbm7add11

       Bbm | G#/C
       C# G#/C Bbm7 G# | F# F#sus2

       G# | F# F
       Bbm Bbm7add11 | Bbm6

       D#m | B/D# | C#/D# | F#
       B/D# | C#sus4 C# | G# | G#

Bbm      G#/C
Do you remember
C#  G#/C Bbm7   G# F#  F#sus2
Standing on the shore,
     G#
Your head in the clouds,
     F#      F           Bbm     Bbm7add11
Your pockets filled with dreams.
Bbm       G#/C
Bound for glory
       C# G#/C Bbm7 G# F# F#sus2
On the seven seas of life,
        G#       F#    F        Bbmadd9
But the ocean is deeper than it seems.

Bbm          G#/C
The wind was with you
         C#   G#/C   Bbm7 G# F# F#sus2
When you left on the morning tide,
    G#
You set your sail
       F#    F       Bbm  Bbm7add11 Bbm6
For an island in the sun,
Bbm      G#/C
On the horizon,
C#   G#/C Bbm7 G# F# F#sus2 G#
Dark clouds up ahead,
        F#        F      Bbm  Bbm7add11
For the storm has just begun.

 D#m       B/D#
   Take me with you,
   C#/D#         F#
   Take me far away,
 B/D#          C#sus4 C#      G#     /G# /G
   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
   Fmadd9      G#
     Sail your ship
      Bbsus4add9 Fmadd9 G# Bbsus4add9
     Across the water,
   Fmadd9        G#
     Spread your wings
      Bbsus4add9 Fmadd9 G# Bbsus4add9
     Across the sky.
   Bbm7sus2   C#      D#6sus4
     Take the time to see
     Bbm7sus2            C#        D#6sus4
     You’re the one, who holds the key,
   C#add9       D#6             Bbsus2
     Or sailing ships will pass you by.

Instrumental: :2/4: Bbm | G#/C
              C# G#/C Bbm7 G# | F# F#sus2

              G# | F# F
              Bbm Bbm7add11 | Bbm6

Bbm         G#/C
You cry for mercy,
         C#    G#/C   Bbm7 G#   F#   F#sus2
When you think you’ve lost your way,
    G#
You drift alone,
   F#       F       Bbm   Bbm7add11
If all your hope is gone.
    Bbm                   G#/C
And find the strength and you will see
     C#  G#/C Bbm7  G#   F#   F#sus2 G#
That you controlled your destiny,
      F#    F         Bbmadd9
After all is said and done.

 D#m          B/D#
   So take me with you,
   C#/D#         F#
   Take me far away,
 B/D#          C#sus4 C#      G#     /G# /G
   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
   Fmadd9      G#
     Sail your ship
      Bbsus4add9 Fmadd9 G# Bbsus4add9
     Across the water,

     Spread your wings
      Bbsus4add9 Fmadd9 G# Bbsus4add9
     Across the sky.

     Sailing ships will pass you by…
