C                            G
I'll send you photographs of everything I do
F                      C                 G
Echoed in my mind as I arrived at Waterloo
C                   G
Jamie met me and we took the Tube down south
F                                        C                     G
They've got pretty girls down there with legs up to their mouths

C                          G 
And once I'd settled in we played on our guitars
F                                           C                 G
And we tried to learn our favourite song but hit the local bars
C                               G
We lost our heads and ventured into Leicester Square
F                          C                  G
Willingly I'll never spend another second there
 
[Chorus]
C            G           Am           F
But I would like to sail away with you
    C                            G                              C
To a place where the sky and the ocean are the same shade of blue

C                           G
Well, I without a home went west to check one out
F                                     C                 G
And I bribed him with a bottle just to kill off any doubt
C                       G
I took my shit to work and made their house a home
F                                   C                   G
And I thought about my family and how quickly I had grown

C                           G
And on the weekend I bought records from the fairs
F                                    C                G
And I walked around alone amongst the busy millionaires
C                    G
And I was lonely but happy and I thought
F                                          C                   G
For the first time in my life, I've lived a life I always sought

C            G           Am           F
And I would like to sail away with you
  C                          G                               C
To a place where the sky and ocean are the same shade of blue
 C           G            Am          F
Yes, I would like to sail away with you
C                               G                             C
To a place where the sky and the ocean are the same shade of blue
 
F               G
But in the end, what matters
C                     F
Yes, what matters to me
C                        G                          C
So I'll sing in the end what matters is we're all free.
