Intro chords
Verse 1
Sailor's coming home again from over the ocean.
He's been away so long, he's forgotten his name.
Left it in a heart somewhere, no one to remind him.
Sold it to a stranger, she took it away.
There comes a time when you understand.
Falling in love, is part of the plan.
Chrous:
And you can stay awake tonight,
Thinking up a dozen names.
But I can only sleep in your arms.
So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again.
Verse 2
So when I tilt my hat, to the breeze of the evening.
Succumb to the flowers, who say they'll marry me.
Then my lover walk away, hang us like a painting.
So there's no more changes. No more, tales of the sea.
You got to get out, well I understand.
Falling apart, wasn't part of the plan.
Chrous:
And you can stay awake tonight,
Thinking up a dozen names.
But I can only sleep in your arms.
So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again.
(Trumpet Solo: --- Progression)
You got to get out, well I understand.
Losing yourself, wasn't part of the plan.
Verse 3
Sailor's coming home again from over the ocean.
He's been away so long, he's forgotten his name.
Left it in a bar somewhere, one drunken evening.
If you talk to strangers baby, you might not come home.
There comes a time, when you understand.
Falling in love,is part of the plan.
Chrous:
And you can stay awake tonight,
Thinking up a dozen names.
But I can only sleep in your arms.
So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again.
And you can stay awake tonight,
Thinking up a dozen names.
But I can only sleep in your arms.
So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again.

Not 100% on the lyrics, but the chords seem to feel right. One note, if
you play this solo on acoustic, you might want to add a D9 towards the
end of the D to G chord change to fill it in a bit, up to you. Enjoy!
