CG
King of the ocean, riding the seven seas
C
And every thought of you is floating on the breeze
G
Every thought of you is floating on the breeze
CG
Left to find kingdoms, but leaving a kingdom behind
C
And every thought of you is always on my mind
G
Every thought of you is always on my mind
[Chorus]
Emi D C G
Oh, your memory's stronger than a thousand ships
D
Of war to call me home
Emi D C G
And though it's glory I'm chasing, its from glory I run
Ami C G
'Cos those glory days are done
[Refrain]
CG
But I won't break, even when the Earth around me shakes
Emi
And the things that have built us up have brought us down
CG
Sometimes you have to leave the things you love, for love
CG
Your siren's sigh, your whisper always louder than your cry
Emi
But your memory lives long beyond goodbye
CG
But I know that I have to leave and can't come back, for you
Ami C
Ahhhhhh-Ahhhh-Ahhhhh-Ahhhhh
G
Ahhhhh-Ah-Ahhhh
[Verse]
CG
Oh remember the winters, light hearts and the lonely trees,
C
They're the memories I'll always keep with me,
G
They're the memories I always keep with me.
CG
The wide world between us, still see you with each new sun,
C
But now I have to tell myself those days are done,
G
Now I have to tell myself those days are done.
[Chorus]
Emi D C G
Oh your memory's stronger than a thousand ships
D
of war to call me home.
Emi D C G
And though its glory I'm chasing its from glory I run,
Ami C G
those glory days are done!
[Refrain]
CG
But I won't break, even when the earth around me shakes,
Emi
When the things that have built us up have brought us down,
CG
Sometimes you have to leave the things you love, for love.
CG
Your siren's sigh, your whisper always louder than your cry,
Emi
But your memory lives long beyond goodbye,
CG
Oh I know that I have to leave and can't come back, for you.
