Fm       D#
Do you remember
G#  D#   Fm7    D# C#
Standing on the shore,
     D#
Your head in the clouds,
     C#      C           Fm      Fm7
Your pockets filled with dreams.
Fm        D#
Bound for glory

On the seven seas of life,

But the ocean is deeper than it seems.

The wind was with you

When you left on the morning tide,

You set your sail
       C#    C       Fm   Fm7      Fm
For an island in the sun,
         D#
On the horizon,
G#   D#  Fm7 D# C#       D#
Dark clouds up ahead,
        C#        C      Fm   Fm7
For the storm has just begun.

     Across the sky.

You cry for mercy,

When you think you’ve lost your way,

You drift alone,

If all your hope is gone.
