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

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

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

Chorus:
   Fm          G#
     Sail your ship
      Bb        Fm     G# Bb
     Across the water,
   Fm            G#
     Spread your wings
      Bb        Fm     G# Bb
     Across the sky.
   Bbm7       C#      D#
     Take the time to see
     Bbm7                C#        D#
     You’re the one, who holds the key,
   C#           D#              Bb
     Or sailing ships will pass you by.

              G# | F# F
              Bbm Bbm7 | Bbm

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

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