G              D         C             D
What would you be if the waves set you free
        G            D                C          D
And the wind in your hair brought you sailing to me
G              C               G        D
Tied up on the shore would you weary no more
G            D   C            G
When will it be, when will it be


   [Verse 2]
G            D       C         D
What would I be if a hurricane came
G          D       C          D
Would I be clever, would I be shamed
G           C              G         D
Would I lie helpless, cast up on the flames
G           D   C           G
What will I be, what will I be


   [Chorus]
Em     D          G    C
I will be here forever
         Em         D        G   C
Till the river runs into the sea
       Em        D
I will always be silent
    G            C
And hold my head up
    Em         D          G     C
And we will be sailors no more


   [Verse 3]
G              D         C           D
Where would we go To the sand or the snow
G         D           C            D
Wander in memories or let them all go
G           C         G          D
Would we be dreamers, helplessly so
G              D   C              G
Where would we go, where would we go


   [Chorus]
Em     D          G    C
I will be here forever
         Em         D        G   C
Till the river runs into the sea
       Em        D
I will always be silent
    G            C
And hold my head up
    Em         D          G     C
And we will be sailors no more


   [Chorus]
Em     D          G    C
I will be here forever
         Em         D        G   C
Till the river runs into the sea
       Em        D
I will always be silent
    G            C
And hold my head up
    Em         D          G     C
And we will be sailors no more
Em         D          G     C
We will be sailors no more

   [Verse 4]
      G
Let's run right out of the city tonight
         D
With our hair tied up and lips sealed tight
Em         C               Em         D
I will cry no more, I said I will cry no more

        G
Like an empty tourist at the world fair
        D
I could only stand and stare
    Em          C      Em          D
And let it pass me by, let it pass me by

  G
I never should have said out loud
       D
That I wanted to save the world
      Em          C            Em          D
But I let it slip away, I just let it slip away

   [Verse 5]
    G
The only thing I wanted to be
        D
Was the perfect one who killed for free
    Em         C                Em          D
And I will try no more, I say I will try no more

        G
But now we are together we won't turn back
          D
Where the boats are burned and the ties are black
    Em         C        Em         D
And I will cry no more, I will cry no more
