 C                           D                 
  Sailing heartships through    Broken harbours
                                               
 Am7                       G                   
 Out on the waves  In the night                
                                               
C                                              
 Still the searcher must Ride the dark horse   
                                               
  Am7                   G                      
 Racing along  In his fright                   
                                               
                                               
 Chorus:                                       
 D        Am7  C  G C G D                      
  Tell me why                                  
                                               
         Am7   C   G                           
 Tell me why                                   
                                               
       Gmaj7                              C    
 Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself 
                                               
             D               C                 
 When you're old enough to repay               
                                               
     Bm              Em                        
 But young enough to sell

 Tell me lies later Come and see me
 I'll be around for a while        
 I am lonely but You can free me   
 All in the way that you smile
