Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
[G/f#] (X2)
Verse 1
[G/f#] /
Sitting on the train, starring at the empty seat in front of me.
[G/f#]
Beneath a golden sky, cities roll on by and I can't get no sleep
[G/f#]
Bridge 1
When I'm alone sometimes,
I try to understand,
[G/f#]
What things have meaning.
And I despise myself,
For being such a fake,
[G/f#]
My mind goes up for miles and miles and miles and miles?
Chorus
[G/f#]
Sail away, with the sea as my engine
And the stars as my guide,
Sailing to the other side?
Verse 2
On a stormy night, walking home in silence while the city sleeps.
I try to do whats right, but something in my natures trying to ruin me.
Bridge 2
I look out to the sea,
A thousand just like me,
Needing direction.
Just floating out of sight,
Into the failing light,
As if It's just the way my life was meant to be?
Chorus
PLAY INTRO (X4)
Outro
[G/f#]
I'm setting sail, to the other side
BACKING VOCALS
The sun goes down and I smile but it's just the same
Our summer is about to end, and I don't, it's gonna be alright?
Every ones down and the town it's in decay, we're wasting our lives away,
And I don't know, it's gonna be alright?
Play intro twice and end on G.
