Dm       C
Do you remember
F   C    Dm7    C  Bb
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
On the seven seas of life,
        C        Bb    A        Dm
But the ocean is deeper than it seems.

Dm           C
The wind was with you
         F    C      Dm7 C   Bb
When you left on the morning tide,
    C
You set your sail
       Bb    A       Dm   Dm7      Dm
For an island in the sun,
         C
On the horizon,
F    C   Dm7 C  Bb       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#            F              C
   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
   Am          C
     Sail your ship
      D         Am     C D
     Across the water,
   Am            C
     Spread your wings
      D         Am     C D
     Across the sky.
   Dm7        F       G
     Take the time to see
     Dm7                 F         G
     You’re the one, who holds the key,
   F            G               D
     Or sailing ships will pass you by.

Dm          C
You cry for mercy,
         F     C      Dm7  C    Bb
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         C
That you controlled your destiny,
      Bb    A         Dm
After all is said and done.

 Gm           D#
   So take me with you,
   F             Bb

   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
   Am          C
     Sail your ship
      D         Am     C D
     Across the water,

     Spread your wings

     Across the sky.

     Sailing ships will pass you by…
