Dm       C  
Do you remember
F   C    Dm7    C  Bb  Bbsus2
Standing on the shore,
     C
Your head in the clouds,
     Bb      A           Dm      Dm7     
Your pockets filled with dreams.
Dm        C  
Bound for glory
       F C   Dm7  C  Bb Bbsus2
On the seven seas of life,
        C        Bb    A        Dmadd9
But the ocean is deeper than it seems.

Dm           C  
The wind was with you
         F    C      Dm7 C   Bb Bbsus2
When you left on the morning tide,
    C
You set your sail
       Bb    A       Dm   Dm7      Dm6
For an island in the sun,
Dm       C  
On the horizon,
F    C   Dm7 C  Bb Bbsus2 C
Dark clouds up ahead,
        Bb        A      Dm   Dm7     
For the storm has just begun.

 Gm        D#  
   Take me with you,
   F             Bb
   Take me far away,
 D#            Fsus4  F       C      /C /B
   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
   Amadd9      C
     Sail your ship
      Dsus4add9 Amadd9 C Dsus4add9
     Across the water,
   Amadd9        C
     Spread your wings
      Dsus4add9 Amadd9 C Dsus4add9
     Across the sky.

     Take the time to see
     Dm7sus2             F         G6sus4
     You’re the one, who holds the key,
   Fadd9        G6              Dsus2
     Or sailing ships will pass you by.

Dm          C  
You cry for mercy,
         F     C      Dm7  C    Bb   Bbsus2
When you think you’ve lost your way,
    C
You drift alone,
   Bb       A       Dm    Dm7     
If all your hope is gone.
    Dm                    C  
And find the strength and you will see
     F   C   Dm7    C    Bb   Bbsus2 C
That you controlled your destiny,
      Bb    A         Dmadd9
After all is said and done.
