"Land Of Opportunity"
[Verse 1]
Bb D Gm Gm/F
I'm sailing away, to a Land of Opportunity.
Eb Eb/D C F
The sun will shine, and birds will sing there everyday
Bb D Gm Gm/F
I'm sailing away, and I hope that you remember me.
Eb Eb/D C F
It was fun, we had our run. Hip hip hooray!
Gm Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E Eb
You said 'hello', I loved you so,
Eb/ Bb F F#
just like in a movie scene.
Gm Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E Eb
I want you to know, I had to let go,
Eb/Bb F
I'm falling in love again.
[Verse 2]
Bb D Gm Gm/F
I'm running away, to a place where you won't bother me.
Eb Eb/D C F
We won't talk for a while, we'll be okay.
Bb D Gm Gm/F
And I'm changing my name to a word that's really hard to say.
Eb Eb/D C F
It's no one's fault, I'm just too young, and you're insane.
Gm Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E Eb
I wasted my time, I missed all the signs,
Eb/Bb F F#
and it ruined my holiday.

I want you to know, I had to let go,
Eb/Bb F
I'm falling in love again

I'm falling in love again.
