Intro:
[E]
So the w[E]wind that blows across your room,
Ca[A]Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser,
It rained for je[E]jewelery and for credit cards,
Two ti[A]tickets to a film I don't[E]don't remember,
One da[A]day you'll kiss
your rabbit's nose, pick up the phone,
To find I've been turned[E]turned over,
You g[A]grab that piece of gold,
Only to find that the smell has taken o[E]over,
And all the things you[A]you had,
They aren't the sa[B7]same
As what you ho[E]hold
Now I'm st[E]standin' in a room,
That's filled with ol[A]older folks,
They're pleading baby[E]baby listen,
And I scr[E]scream as loud as anyone,
But when as[A]asked to make a point,
I tend to w[E]whisper
Now h[A]highways turn to tidal waves,
And they're asking me to
export all of your [E]insecurities,
But that wi[A]wind that blows across
your room, it's gonna set the sails,
And send me back to y[E]you, o[B7]ooh,
Chorus:
[E] Sometimes, when sailors are sailin', they,
[A] Think twice, about where they're anchorin'
And[E]And I think, I could make better use,
[A] Of my time on land,
I'll d[E]drink less,
Cause Lord knows I could use a,
[A] Warm kiss instead of a cold goodbye
[Gb] I'm writing the folks back home to tell them,
[A] Hey I'm doing all right

Verse:
It's a sh[E]shame what your father d[A]did,
To your b[E]rothers head, he sma[A]shed it w[B]ith the
T[E]Telepho[A]elephone [E] [A] [B]
Your moth[E]mother got scared and lo[A]locked the door,
You were on[E]ly four, but Lo[A]rd, y[B]ou rem[E]ember it[A],
[Dbm] [B]So now you're sca[A]scared of love
I'm here to tell you love's not
some xxxxing blood on the rec[E]receiver
Love is spe[A]speaking in code
It's an inside joke, love is coming ho[E]home
Chorus:
[E] Sometimes, when sailors are sailin', they,
[A] Think twice, about where they're anchorin'
And[E]And I think, I could make better use,
[A] Of my time on land,
I'll d[E]drink less,
Cause Lord knows I could use a,
[A] Warm kiss, Instead of a cold goodbye
[Gb] I'm writing the folks back home to tell them,
[A] Hey I
Verse:
Yeah I'm doing alr[E]alright
Yeah I'm doin' just fi[A]fine
An' if she se[Gb]seems as lonely as me, Let her s[A]sink
Yeah I'm doin' alr[E]alright,
Yeah I'm doin' just f[A]fine,
An' if she s[Gb]seems as lonely as me, let her,
Si[A]Sink, you let her, sink, well let her!
