Intro:
F.....G.....F....G....F...
Verse:
F.....G...........F........G
Oh, babe I have a heavy heart
F.............G................F............G
we're taking steps back every time we start
Am..........C..............Dm....F
I’m on a rolling train downtown
A#..............A................Dm.....C7
just trying to get back to my hometown
I took you in to my broken home
then I got scared to leave you there alone
here there are shadows that may lead you astray
I never realized they're all in my face
Chorus:
F................
Sail on my love
...................
If the ocean gets rough
...................C...
will you help me sing
....................F..
would it help to sing
(X2)
Verse:
when you first taught me how to stand up tall
so scared of heights I thought that I’d surely fall
I’m used to digging in the dirt
down where there's no one for me to hurt
the windows whistle when the west wind blows
my head is pounding from these burning coals
I tripped and stumbled don't you know
and in all that dust our hands let go
Chorus (X2)
