Intro:
    Eb  Bb  Gm  F
    Eb  Bb  F  Bb

                   Eb   Bb
I feel just like a sailboat
             Gm       F
I don't know where I'm headed
                       Eb    Bb
But you can't make the wind blow
       F   Bb
From a sailboat


       Eb        Bb
I have seen the sun
         Gm       F
Felt the rain on my skin
          Eb        Bb
I've been lost and found
           F         Bb
But mostly I've been waiting


       Eb         
Oh I'm out in the waves
    Bb
I'm hoping and praying
Gm                          F
Please let this wind blow me home
Eb                             Bb
Night after night there's and empty horizon
       Gm              F
And my God do I feel so alone
        Eb           Eb             F
Somtimes life, most times I, feel just like a sailboat

Interlude: Eb  Bb  Gm  F

           Eb       Bb
I'm pretty sure I'm heard
           Gm      F
At least I know I'm speaking
           Eb      Bb
But I feel like a fool
              F        Bb
Cause I can't hear you listening


            Eb      Bb
But I'm not giving up
          Gm     F 
I'm gonna move on forward
          Eb        Bb
I'm gonna raise my sail
                   F      Bb
God knows what I'm headed towards


       Eb         
Oh I'm out in the waves
    Bb
I'm hoping and praying
Gm                          F
Please let this wind blow me home
Eb                             Bb
Night after night there's and empty horizon
       Gm              F
And my God do I feel so alone
        Eb           Eb             F
Somtimes life, most times I, feel just like a sailboat

Interlude: Eb  Bb  Gm  F

         Eb        Bb
The only change I see
        F           Bb
Lost or found, let's see
         Eb     Bb                     F        Bb     
The only difference is believing I'll make it end


       Eb         
Oh I'm out in the waves
    Bb
I'm hoping and praying
Gm                          F
Please let this wind blow me home
Eb                             Bb
Night after night there's and empty horizon
       Gm              F
And my God do I feel so alone
       Eb         
Oh I'm out in the waves
    Bb
I'm hoping and praying
Gm                          F
Please let this wind blow me home
Eb                             Bb
Night after night there's and empty horizon
       Gm              F
And my God do I feel so alone
        Eb                 Eb       F
Somtimes life, most times I, feel just like a sailboat
