CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C G F C Am
F Am F Am
You live in your prison, the one that you choose
F G Am
You'd do anything to have nothing to lose

You give up your shovel and dig with a spoon
CHORUS:

Oh love, now you're out in the cold with your rock-a-bye body

Your butterfly soul

Oh no, don't you grow old
F Am
You're just finding your way
F Am F Am
With the current behind you, a clear summer sky
F G Am
You call yourself stranded, a boat by your side
F Am F Am
And your fistful of wishes, and your handful of hopes
F G
You stash them away in the pit of your throat
CHORUS:
C
You save them away
G7
Save them away

You're sailing away

Sailing away

Oh no, don't you let go of your rock-a-bye body
