verse 1
 
     A 
When stars are born. 
    Bm/A 
Are they cast out? 
   E                      D       A 
To wander cold and lonely lost in space. 
  Cdim7 
A loveless point of light 
             Bm 
That can't return. 
   Bm7            E 
Forever fixed within one place. 

verse 2 
     A                Bm/A 
When love is lost and dreams are cast. 
     E                           D       A 
Like bruised and battered pieces left to die. 
     Cdim7 
When hands that reach out are betrayed. 
    Bm              Bm7           E 
How can my tortured soul survive? 

Bridge 
             C#m       F#m 
There's only one thing left. 
               D                       E 
And that's the one thing that I needed most of all. 
        C#m               F#m 
But the freedom that I've gained 
       Bm               Bm/A           G        G/F#   E 
Is the loss that led me aimless to the shore. 

A C#m7 F#m F#m/E And I'm borne high on these waves. D A/C# E Swept by the wind and alone. A C#m7 D E Sail me away, carry me back to my home. D I'm tired, I've been torn. E/D C#7 C#7/E F#m A cruel wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones. F#m/E Bm Oh sail me away. D/E E Dadd2 Carry me back to my home.
verse 3 A These scars run deep. Bm/A E D A The future holds a hunger for an innocence that passed away. Cdim7 A My callous shadows mock. Bm Bm7 E And make it clear some things were not enough to make them stay. Bridge C#m F#m The moment time stands still D E Is the moment that the writing's on the walls. C#m F#m The words are clear as ringing bells Bm Bm/A G G/F# E That pride is present right before the fall.
A C#m7 F#m F#m/E And I'm borne high on these waves. D A/C# E Swept by the wind and alone. A C#m7 D E Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home. D I'm tired, I've been torn. E/D C#7 C#7/E F#m A cruel wretched storm churns like a gail in my bones. F#m/E Bm Oh sail me away. D/E E Dadd2 Carry me back to my home. F#m/E Bm Sail me away! D/E E Dadd2 A Carry me back to my home!
