[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][G][D]

[Chorus 1]
[G]Come sail your shi[D]ps around me
[C]And burn your bri[G]dges dow[D]n
[G]We make a little his[D]tory baby
[C]Every time you com[G]e arou[D]nd
[G]Come loose your dog[D]s upon me
[C]And let your hai[G]r hang dow[D]n
[G]You are a little mys[D]tery to me
[C]Every time you com[G]e arou[D]nd

[Verse 1]
[C]We talk about it all[G] night lon[D]g
[C]We define our mor[G]al gro[D]und
[Em]But when I crawl into yo[G]ur arms
E- [C]everything it comes [G]tumbling [D]down

[Chorus 2]
[G]Come sail your shi[D]ps around me
[C]And burn your bri[G]dges dow[D]n
[G]We make a little his[D]tory baby
[C]Every time you com[G]e arou[D]nd

[Verse 2]
[C]Your face has fallen sad[G] now[D]
[C]For you know the tim[G]e is nig[D]h
[Em]When I must remove[G] your wings
And [C]you, you must [G]try to [D]fly

[Chorus 3]
[G]Come sail your shi[D]ps around me
[C]And burn your bri[G]dges dow[D]n
[G]We make a little his[D]tory baby
[C]Every time you com[G]e arou[D]nd
[G]Come loose your dog[D]s upon me
[C]And let your hai[G]r hang dow[D]n
[G]You are a little mys[D]tery to me
[C]Every time you com[G]e arou[D]nd

[Outro 1]
[G]Come sail your shi[D]ps around me
[C]And burn your bri[G]dges dow[D]n
[G]We make a little his[D]tory baby
[C]Every time you com[G]e arou[D]nd
[G][D][C][G][D]
[G][D][C][G][D]
[G][D][C][G][D]
