D#m      C# 
Do you remember
F#  C#   D#m7   C# B   Bsus2
Standing on the shore,
     C#
Your head in the clouds,
     B       Bb          D#m     D#m7    
Your pockets filled with dreams.
D#m       C# 
Bound for glory
       F# C# D#m7 C# B  Bsus2
On the seven seas of life,
        C#       B     Bb       D#madd9
But the ocean is deeper than it seems.

D#m          C# 
The wind was with you
         F#   C#     D#m7 C# B  Bsus2
When you left on the morning tide,
    C#
You set your sail
       B     Bb      D#m  D#m7     D#m6
For an island in the sun,
D#m      C# 
On the horizon,
F#   C#  D#m7 C# B Bsus2 C#
Dark clouds up ahead,
        B         Bb     D#m  D#m7    
For the storm has just begun.

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

Chorus:
   Bbmadd9     C#
     Sail your ship
      D#sus4add9 Bbmadd9 C# D#sus4add9
     Across the water,
   Bbmadd9       C#
     Spread your wings
      D#sus4add9 Bbmadd9 C# D#sus4add9
     Across the sky.
   D#m7sus2   F#      G#6sus4
     Take the time to see
     D#m7sus2            F#        G#6sus4
     You’re the one, who holds the key,
   F#add9       G#6             D#sus2
     Or sailing ships will pass you by.

D#m         C# 
You cry for mercy,
         F#    C#     D#m7 C#   B    Bsus2
When you think you’ve lost your way,
    C#
You drift alone,
   B        Bb      D#m   D#m7    
If all your hope is gone.
    D#m                   C# 
And find the strength and you will see
     F#  C#  D#m7   C#   B    Bsus2 C#
That you controlled your destiny,
      B     Bb        D#madd9
After all is said and done.

   So take me with you,
   F#            B
   Take me far away,

   And lead me to the distant shore.
