A A7M C#m7 C#m7 Cm7
Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Bm7 D/E A Bm7 D/E
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze.
E7 A A7M C#m7 C#m7 Cm7
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'
Bm7 D/E A F#7(13-) F#7
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide
Bm
Oh, it's a dirty old shame
D/E
When all you get from love
A F#7(13-) F#7
is a love song
Bm
That's got you layin' up nights
D/E
Just waitin'
A F#7(13-) F#7
For the music to start
Bm
It's such a dirty old shame
D/E
When you got to take the blame
A F#7(13-) F#7
for a love song,
Bm
Because the best love songs
D/E Bm/A A D/E
Are written with a broken heart
A A7M C#m7 C#m7 Cm7
And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding
Bm7 D/E A
The future that lies before me I cannot see
D/E
(Look at, look at! Future? I cannot see!)
A A7M C#m7 C#m7 Cm7
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Bm7 D/E
Lighting up the world for everyone,
A F#7(13-) F#7
But not for me
Bm
Oh, it's a dirty old shame
D/E
When all you get from love
A F#7(13-) F#7
is a love song
Bm
That's got you layin' up nights
D/E
Just waitin'
A F#7(13-) F#7
For the music to start
Bm
It's such a dirty old shame
D/E
When you got to take the blame
A F#7(13-) F#7
for a love song,
Bm
Because the best love songs
D/E Bm/A A D/E
Are written with a broken heart
