Intro:

C# C#, D#m D#m, C# C#

Verse 1:

C# C#
Sail on down the line,
D#m D#m
About a, half a mile or so.
Don't really wanna know,
C# C#
Where you're going.

C# C#
Maybe once or twice you see,
D#m D#m
Time after time I tried,
To hold on to what we got,
C# C#
But now you're going.

Chorus 1:

F# F# G# G#
And I don't mind,
C# C# C#/B C#/B A#m A#m C#7 C#7
About the things you're gonna sail on,
F# F# G# G# C# C# C#/B C#/B A#m A#m, C#7 C#7
I give all my money and my time.
F# F# G# G#
I know it's a shame,
C# C# C#/B C#/B A#m A#m
But I'm giving you back your name,
G# G# F# F#
Yeah, yeah.

Bridge 1:

F# F# C# C# D#m D#m
Yes, I'll be on my way,
F# F# C# C# D#m D#m
I won't be back to stay.
F# F# C# C# D#m D#m
I guess I'll move a-long,
C# C# G# G#
I'm looking for a good...time.

Interlude:

C# C#, D#m D#m, C# C#

Verse 2:

C# C#
Sail on down the line, it's,
D#m D#m
Funny how the time can go,
Friends says they told me so,
C# C#
But it doesn't matter.

C# C#
It was plain to see,
D#m D#m
That a small town boy like me,
Just wasn't your cup of tea,
C# C#
I was wishful thinking.

Chorus 2:

F# F# G# G#
I gave you my heart,
C# C# C#/B C#/B A#m A#m C#7 C#7
And I tried to make you happy,
F# F# G# G# C# C# C#/B C#/B A#m A#m
And you gave me nothing in re-turn.
C#7 C#7 F# F# G# G#
You know it ain't so hard to say;
C# C# C#/B C#/B A#m A#m
Would you please just go a-way...
G# G# F# F#
Yeah, yeah.

Bridge 2:

F# F# C# C# D#m D#m
I've thrown away the blues,
F# F# C# C# D#m D#m
I'm tired of being used.
F# F# C# C# D#m D#m
I want every-one to know,
C# C# G# G#
I'm looking for a good...time.
B B F# F# G# G#
Good time...

Coda:

F#maj7 F#maj7 Fm7 Fm7
Sail on, honey,
F#maj7 F#maj7 Fm7 Fm7 D#m7 D#m7
Good times, never felt so good.

F#maj7 F#maj7 Fm7 Fm7
Sail on, honey,
F#maj7 F#maj7 Fm7 Fm7 D#m7 D#m7
Good times, never felt so good.
