INTRO
Dm Dm/A x4
VERSE1
Dm Dm/A F/C F
Moving, keep moving, the tour never stops.
G G/B C C/E
In the light of petrol stations and cheap corner shops
A7 A7/E Dm Dm/C Bb
I have finally figured a list of the things that I've got,
C C/E
And the things that I'm not.
I need you, I need you, I need you to care,
When I'm moving it's soothing to know that you're there,
And that when I get home I can breathe you like heady fresh air,
For as long as I dare.
CHORUS
Bb F
Honey I'm sorry, but I've got my sea legs again.
Gm6* A7
If I stand on dry land for a minute, I feel sick and then
I have to start moving again.
Dm Dm/A x4

VERSE2
Dm Dm/A F/C F
From Glasgow to Moscow, from London to Lille,
G G/B C C/E
Sat on the platform or next to the wheel,
A7 A7/E Dm Dm/C Bb
I haven't got space on this postcard to say how I feel,
C C/E
But that was the deal.
I miss you, I miss you, but I don't ask your help.
When I'm out on the road I look out for myself;
I look after my guitar, my clothes and my wallet, my health,
And nothing else.
CHORUS
Bb F
Honey I'm sorry, but I've got my sea legs again.
Gm6* A7
If I stand on dry land for a minute, I feel sick and then
I have to start moving, on again and...
MIDDLE
Dm Dm/C Dm/F Dm/G A7 BASS: G/F#/E
You're on my phone again, well,
Bbm
What do you want me to say,
F C
When I'm this far away?
Dm Dm/C Dm/F Dm/G A7 BASS: G/F#/E
And you don't know where I am, well,
Bbm
You're not the only one.
F C Dm
I am lost and I'm gone away
Bbm F
Oh Darling Thou Pluckest Me Out
C Dm
And I don't even know where you are
Bbm F
Oh Darling Thou Pluckest Me Out
C Dm Bbm A7 A7*
And I don't even know who you are anymore
CHORUS
Bb F
Honey I'm sorry, but I've got my sea legs again.
Gm6* A7
If I stand on dry land for a minute, I feel sick and then
I have to start moving again.
