CHORUS:
G D C G D
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
G D C G D
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
G D C G D
Come loose your dogs upon me, and let your hair hang down
G D C G D
You are a little mystery to me, every time you come around
C G D
We talk about it all night long
C G D
We define our moral grounds
Em G
But when I crawl into your arms
C G D
Everything comes tumbling down.
CHORUS
C G D
Your face has fallen sad now
C G D
for you know the time is nigh
Em G
When I must remove your wings
C G D
and you, you must try to fly
CHORUS
