Intro:
                      Bb          Eb    Bb
I was singing on the road, Many years ago
       Eb    Bb
I was on my own
    Eb        Bb
So far from home
        Bb
Bitter days
                     Eb       Bb
When I felt like I could not win
        Eb      Bb          F        Bb
When I lost it all, and I needed a friend


 Bb    Eb Bb  Eb Bb    F
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, a

Verse 1:
                    Bb
Well I had up and gone
           Eb     Bb
When I got on my own
F        Bb             Eb      Bb
Nothing like the kid I used to know
         Bb                 Eb     Bb
When I feel, because I'm a bigger man
        F          Bb         Eb         Bb
That I don't need you and I don't need them

Chorus:
Bb                     Eb      Bb
    Sail away, to the life we had
         Eb      Bb
To the words we said
         F
That we don't want to be grown ups
             Bb
And we'll always believe
         Eb      Bb
Till we never pretend
           Eb          Bb               F
And at the end of the day, I still got all of friends
             Eb          Bb
I still got all of my friends

Verse 2:
      Bb          Eb     Bb
I'm alone, in a world unknown
    F       Bb                Eb      Bb
Thrown my hands up from the constant blows
             Bb                        Eb     Bb
So when you feel like you're having a heart attack
              F          Bb            Eb         Bb
Because she breaks your heart and she won't call back

Chorus:
Bb                     Eb      Bb
    Sail away, to the life we had
        Eb       Bb
To the words we said
         F
That we don't want to be grown ups
            Bb
And we'll always believe
          Eb      Bb
Till we never pretend
             Eb        Bb                F
And when my hearts on mend, I still got all of friends
             Eb         Bb
I still got all of my friends

               Bb
You need to understand

I need to let you know
            Eb
No matter where we've been

No matter where we go
              Bb
And when the time is right

You'll feel it in your bones
                 Eb
You'll start to see the light

a place you used to know
            Gm
We need to make amends
              F
Because the space has grown
                   Eb
So let's all come home, home, home home

     Sail away, to the life we had

To the words we said
          F
That we don't want to be grown ups
            Bb
And we'll always believe
         Eb      Bb
Till we never pretend
            Eb         Bb               F
And at the end of the day, I still got all of friends
                      Bb
I'll tell you where I go

That we don't want to be grown ups
            Bb
And we'll always believe

And at the end of the day, I still got all of friends
             Eb         Bb
I still got all of my friends
