[Intro]
C G
[Verse 1]
C G
Let me out, I can't breathe
C
Gotta get out of this concrete hole
C G
I'm wrecked and I'm decked
C
I've gotta break free before I lose control
[Chorus]
C G
So cast the lines away
Am
From the dock at the harbour bay
G
All those cares and worries and woes
F
You can save them for another day
C G G C
Because we're sailing, sailing

C G
Give me space, I'm on fire
C
Banging my head against a hard brick wall
C G
And I'm gone, so long
C
You can leave a message but I'll never call
[Chorus]
C G
Cast the lines away
Am
From the dock at the harbour bay
C G
It's a fine bright day
F
And the wind is blowing away

Lets go sailing, sailing
