Sail Away

CAPO - 2nd fret
VERSE
G D
I'd like to Sail Away,
C Am
just for the day,
G D
because my old friends,
C Am
would like it that way.
G D
I'd like to feel good,
C Am
perhaps I should,
G D
my life is on the waves,
C Am
she said.
CHORUS
C Am
I don't wanna stay alone,
Em
stay alone in this city.
C Am
I can't live my life alone,
Em
I don't need no pity.
VERSE
G D
I can't remember,
C Am
my moral defender,
G D
'Cause I'm still,
C Am
trapped under the waves again.
G D
Moving to my vessel,
C Am
I don't need to wrestle,
G D
with false friendships,
C Am
anymore.
CHORUS
C Am
I don't wanna stay alone,
Em
stay alone in this city.
C Am
I can't live my life alone,
Em
I don't need no pity.
OUTRO
G - D- C - Am (x8)
