{intro} 
E5               E5              A5      A5 
  The night is soft and silent, new moon at my door 
B5               B5                E5                     E5 
  There's nothing near as quiet as the light I'm looking for 
E5                     E5         A5      A5 
  And last time that it appeared he was lying next to me 
B5           B5             E5                 E5 
  Last time I felt this near to whispered ecstacy 
  

C#5             A5          B5              E5    -   E5 
  And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas 
C#5             A5               E5                B5 
  And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams 
  

E5                       E5              A5               A5 
  We rose and fell just like the tides, he filled my heart and soul and I 
B5                  B5                     A5              A5 
  Buried all my dreams for someone else to find in my pirate days 
  

C#5  A5  B5  E5 - E5     C#5  A5  B5  E5 
{instrumental} 
  

E5                E5       A5           A5 
  This world is kinder to the kind that won't look back 
B5             B5       C#5            A5 - B5 
  They are the chosen few, among us now, unbowed somehow 
E5                 E5           A5         A5 
  And one day he turned to me, and before I took one breath 
B5             B5         E5               E5    -   E5 
  I knew I would only see his shadow in what light was left 
  

C#5             A5          B5              E5    -   E5 
  And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas 
C#5             A5               E5                B5 
  And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams 
  

E5                      E5               A5                A5 
  And if I've seen his face since then, it's only been in dreams my friend 
B5       B5          A5           A5 
  Since I came to the end of my pirate days 
E5                        E5               A5                A5 
  And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend 
B5    B5          A5             A5 
  So I came to the end of my pirate days
