Intro chords

Verse 1

Sailor's coming home again from over the ocean.

He's been away so long, he's forgotten his name.

Left it in a heart somewhere, no one to remind him.

Sold it to a stranger, she took it away.

There comes a time when you understand.

Falling in love, is part of the plan.

Chrous:

And you can stay awake tonight,

Thinking up a dozen names.

But I can only sleep in your arms.

So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again.

Verse 2

So when I tilt my hat, to the breeze of the evening.

Succumb to the flowers, who say they'll marry me.

Then my lover walk away, hang us like a painting.

So there's no more changes. No more, tales of the sea.

You got to get out, well I understand.

Falling apart, wasn't part of the plan.

Chrous:

And you can stay awake tonight,

Thinking up a dozen names.

But I can only sleep in your arms.

So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again.

(Trumpet Solo: --- Progression)

You got to get out, well I understand.

Losing yourself, wasn't part of the plan.

Verse 3

Sailor's coming home again from over the ocean.

He's been away so long, he's forgotten his name.

Left it in a bar somewhere, one drunken evening.

If you talk to strangers baby, you might not come home.

There comes a time, when you understand.

Falling in love,is part of the plan.

Chrous:

And you can stay awake tonight,

Thinking up a dozen names.

But I can only sleep in your arms.

So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again.

And you can stay awake tonight,

Thinking up a dozen names.

But I can only sleep in your arms.

So when I stay awake I'll sail those same oceans again.

Not 100% on the lyrics, but the chords seem to feel right. One note, if

you play this solo on acoustic, you might want to add a D9 towards the

end of the D to G chord change to fill it in a bit, up to you. Enjoy!
