Fmaj                            C
Sailboats wish that they were stars,
          Gm
Floating softly in the sky
 Bb
Among our dreams that pay goodbye


Fmaj                         C
Moving through transparent space, 
          Gm
Drifting through the stratosphere
  Bb                   C
And onward 'till they disappear


Fmaj                       C
These continents from overhead
          Gm
Look like tiny paper shapes
Bb
Intricately set in place


Fmaj                      C
Below the misty mountain clouds
          Gm
Theres a lovely silver bay
      Bb              C         Fmaj
Where sunset sailors often hideaway


 Bb        Fmaj         C       
      Scuba diver in the lock, 
 Bb            Fmaj          C
      Speedboat driver on the dock
 Bb            Fmaj          C           Dm             Bb
      Sailplane pilot in the blue take me up there with you
                      Fmaj               Bb      C
      The world looks brighter from this high altitude


 Bb        Fmaj                 C       
      I was walking through the trees (Sailboats wish they were stars)
 Bb            Fmaj                 C
      And I was swimming through the sea (Cause they don't know who 
      they are)
 Bb         Fmaj               C
      I was falling through the air
             Dm            Bb
      When it hit me right there...
                 Fmaj     Bb         C  
      My eyes are tired; I don't even care

Fmaj                       C
An airplane carried me to bed, 
         Gm
Where i slept above the coast 
     Bb
And dreamt I had become a ghost


Fmaj                     C
I sail above the frozen peaks,
         Gm
Deep in cold cathedral caves
  Bb                  C             Fmaj 
Across the hills and far beyond the waves


Bb            Fmaj        C
      Take the car on the lawn
Bb           Fmaj          C      
      Fly the jet to the sun
Bb                   Fmaj
      And bring the spacecraft
          C                Dm             Bb
      'n soon while I play chess with the moon
                  Fmaj                  Bb        C 
      I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoon


Bb          Fmaj C                            
      Once in 1964 (Sailboats wish they were stars)
Bb              Fmaj        C
      An actress ran on the shore (Cause they don't know who they are)


Bb                     Fmaj     C
      And though you'll never return,
                Dm             
      I love you Audrey Hepburn
Bb            Fmaj            Bb          C     
      Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd


Bb             Fmaj             C
      There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky
Bb              Fmaj           C
      But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly
Bb               Fmaj            C
      I'm glad the Earth doesn't care
        Dm        
      If I go up there
Bb           Fmaj        Bb              C
      If you want to just ask me and I'll take you along..
