[Strophe]
C                      Dm 
For you dear, I was born 
C                    Dm 
For you I was raised up 
C                          Dm 
For you I've lived and for you I will die 
                   C               Dm 
For you I am dying now 
F                      G 
You were my mad little lover 
     F                                  G 
In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over 
               Dm                      G 
You who are so far from me 
Dm                      G 
So far from me 
Em              F             G 
Way across some cold neurotic sea 
C               Dm 
Far from me
[Strophe]
C                          Dm 
I would talk to you of all matter of things 
C                          Dm 
With a smile you would reply 
C                          Dm 
Then the sun would leave your pretty face 
                                         C         Dm 
And you'd retreat from the front of your eyes 
F                          G 
I keep hearing that you're doing best 
F                             G 
I hope your heart beats happy in your infant breast 
           Dm                      G 
You are so far from me 
Dm                      G 
Far from me 
C                      Dm 
Far from me

[Refrain]
G                D             C              G        D 
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down 
G                D               C             G      D 
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around 
G                D           C              G         D 
Come loose your dogs upon me, and let your hair hang down 
G                  D           C                G      D 
You are a little mystery to me, every time you come around
[Strophe]
C                  G         D 
 We talk about it all night long 
C               G      D 
 We define our moral grounds   
Em                 G 
 But when I crawl into your arms 
 C                 G        D 
 Everything comes tumbling down.
[Refrain]
G                D             C              G        D 
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down 
G                D               C             G      D 
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
[Strophe]
C                     G   D 
Your face has fallen sad now 
C                  G      D 
for you know the time is nigh   
Em             G 
When I must remove your wings 
C                 G       D 
and you, you must try to fly
[Refrain]
G                D             C              G        D 
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down 
G                D               C             G      D 
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around 
G                D           C              G         D 
Come loose your dogs upon me, and let your hair hang down 
G                  D           C                G      D 
You are a little mystery to me, every time you come around
[Outro]
G                D             C              G        D 
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down 
G                D               C             G      D 
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
