G Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the key Em No one waving for me just the shoreline receding C D Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in G Cause who said sailing is fine? Em Leaving behind all the faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride C D Looking deep inside but I don't want to look so deep inside yet G Em Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye C D There might not be another star, farther on the line G Em Look out, look out at each town that glides by C D And there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes G Em And see how that light you love now just won't shine C There might just be another star G D That's high and far in some other sky G We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set Em And decide what a dance might mean to it C D Ruining the place where the ensuing may lay escape G We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags Em From the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags C D Black and battered rattling our swords in service of some fated, foreign, war G And we sail out on order of him Em C But we find that the maps he sent to us D Don't mention lost coastlines G Em Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined C G D And we don't recognize the names upon strange signs G Em And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide C G D Well we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright G Just go la la, la la la la Em C D La la la la, oh oh oh G Just go la la, la la la la Em C D La la la la, oh oh oh
