The Ship In Port Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Some say our dreams are a [C]distant [G]road
Down [C]which [D]our [G]hearts
would like to [D]go[G]
[Em]But I [Bm]have [C]always stayed in [G]place
[C]Under that old illu[G]sion that [D]it's safe

[Verse 2]
You said [G]the ship in port is the [C]safer [G]one
But it's [C]not the [G]reason it was [D]made
So for[Em]give me [Bm]if I[C] wander of[G]f
And [C]forgive me [G]more
if I just [D]stay
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Sing another song for the
[Bm]lost [C]ones
We're the ones who need
it the [Em]most[D]
Every time you run [Bm]it'll cost [C]ya'
But it doesn't stop us running

[Verse 4]
If [C]a cow[G]ard [D]dies a tho[C]usand
[D]times[G][C][G][C][G]
Then there's a [C]graveyard in
[G]my [D]hea[C]d[D]
'Cause it [Em]took me [Bm]years[D]
to [C]say the word[G]s[D]
That [C]you did [G]not even
[D]need said
[Em][C]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Sing another song for the
[Bm]lost [C]ones
We're the ones that need it
the [Em]most[C][D]
Nothin' that you fear is
[Bm]forgotten[D][C]

[Interlude 1]
It follows you around like
[G][D][Dsus4]
[G][Em][C][G][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 6]
Then everything [D]danced to
[G]a stranger tune
[Em]And [G]we found our song[D]
and we [G]found [C]our [G]truth
And now that we [D]know it's
That we [G]always [Em]knew[G]
Farewell to the [D]chains we were [G]born[C]

[Interlude 2]
into
[G][D][G][Em][G][D][G][C]

[Verse 7]
And as we [G]danced among
the [D]ashes of our [G]lives
We laughed it [Em]off
And then we [G]burned our tiny
[D]Worlds and found the [G]ocean
Just bey[C]ond those paper walls

[Outro 1]
[G]
