Tom: G
G A C G
Now what would they do if I just sailed away
A C G
Who the hell really compelled me to leave today
A C G
Runnin' low on stories of what made it a ball
A C G
What would they do if I made no landfall
G A C G
I lived half my life in an eight by five room
A C G
Just crusin' to the sound of the big diesel boom
A C G
It's not close quarters that would make me snap
A C G
It's just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap
[Chorus]
Em A G
Sail away, for a month at a time
Em A G
Sail away, I've got to restart my mind
A G
And you'll find me back at it again
G C A G
[Verse]
G A C G
Oh, I love the smell of fresh snapper fried light
A C G
What you say pouilly-fusse to round out the night
A C G
The mid-morning watch is the best time to look
A C G
Oh, what would they do if I wrote the big book
G A C G
'Cause I've seen incredible things in my years
A c G
Some days were laughter and others were tears
A C G
If I had it all to do over again
A C G
I'd just get myself drunk and I'd jump right back in
[Chorus]
Em A G
Sail away, that's the way I survive
Em A G
Sail away, that's just no shuck and jive
A G
It just makes my whole life come alive
G A C G
The wind whistles through the cold riggin' at night
A C G
Crazy crowds boogie to the sounds and the lights
A C G
Bums down in Capo's he's just havin' a ball
A C G
What would he do on another landfall
A C G
What would they do if I made no landfall
A C G
Oh, what would they do if I flew to Nepal
A C G
What would I do if I met Lucille Ball
A C G
I'm tryin' to make a little sense of it all
A C G
Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all
