Intro
G G/F# Em7 Em11 Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
Verse 1
G G/F# Em7 Em11
At times like this, I wish I were a sailor.
Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
And could sail far away to hidden lands.
G G/F#
With the sea below and the sky above,
Em7 Em11
The horizon the only thing to love
Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
and anchors tattooed on my chest and hands.
G G/F# Em7 Em11
St. Christopher alone would guide my passage.
Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
The sun and moon alone would light the way.
G G/F#
The smell of salt would fill my nose
Em7 Em11
In place of the one left on my clothes
Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
and the silence as I'm wishing she could stay.
Chorus
Cadd9 D7
Oh I'll let the currents carry me now,
G [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Em7 Em11
Baptize myself in waves of the lost and the found.
Cadd9 D7
I'll float across this world and I'll sing the things I see.
G [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Em7
Let the water wash away all these painful memories
Cadd9 D7 G
'Till they mean nothing to me.

Verse 2
G G/F# Em7 Em11
What I'd give to be the one who's always leaving.
Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
Instead of being the one that's always left.
G G/F#
To feel wanderlust instead of love,
Em7 Em11
'Cause surely that would be enough
Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
To take me away from this entire fucking mess.
G G/F# Em7 Em11
Now admittedly I got myself in to this.
Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
But now all I really want is to get out.
G G/F#
To be the person that I was before
Em7 Em11
Who looked around himself and saw
Cadd9 Em11 Dsus4 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
A world a little wider than the one to which he was bound.
Chorus
Cadd9 D7
Oh I'll let the currents carry me now,
G [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Em7 Em11
Baptize myself in waves of the lost and the found.
Cadd9 D7
I'll float across this world and I'll sing the things I see.
G [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Em7
Let the water wash away all these painful memories
Cadd9 D7
'Till they mean nothing to me.
G [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
Bridge
Em7 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Cadd9
But I'm standing on solid ground now, not the waves.
Em7 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Cadd9
Yet I feel a little seasick all the same.
Em7 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch]
There's nowhere now that I can go.
Cadd9
I'm sick and tired of sleeping alone.
Em7 [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Cadd9 D7
How the hell am I supposed to win this game?
G [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Em7
When she's always gonna have the upper hand,
Cadd9 D7 G
Oh, just as long as we are on dry land.
Final Chorus
Cadd9 D7
Oh I'll let the currents carry me now,
G [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Em7 Em11
Baptize myself in waves of the lost and the found.
Cadd9 D7
I'll float across this world and I'll sing the things I see.
G [ch]Dsus4/F#[/ch] Em7
Let the water wash away all these painful memories
Cadd9 D7 G
'Till they mean nothing to me.
