Verse 1:
Bb                          Gm
Maybe I'd be better off in Berlin
                         Eb
Or as an artists muse in London
                      Bb
Drifting from hand to hand
Bb                        Gm
Maybe I was born to be a sailor
                   Eb
Drop my anchors in Antigua
                Bb
As a travelling fisherman

Pre-chorus:
Bb             Eb               Bb
But I am home wherever you are near
Bb                  Eb
There's no life in anything
                Bb
When you're not here

Chorus:
Cm         F       Bb
What could take my love away?

Verse 2:
Bb                        Gm
Maybe I was destined for philosophy
                Eb
Leading leftist ideologies
             Bb
At the Paris-Sorbonne
Bb                        Gm
Dreaming up the splendid demise
                    Eb
Of the societies we despise
           Bb
At Cafe de Flore

Pre-chorus:
Bb                               Eb          Bb
But these things lose all their meaning and allure
Bb
If you're not there to
Eb          Bb
Witness the grandeur

Chorus:
Cm         F        Bb
What could shake my love away?

Verse 3:
Bb                                  Gm
Maybe we'll be missionaries in the Congo
                   Eb
Revolutionaries in Cuba
                      Bb
Perhaps we'll build a home
Bb                     Gm
In the shadows of the forest
                                  Eb
Along the east coast, or the west coast
                  Bb
I forget where we decided

Pre-chorus:
Bb                   Eb          Bb
As long as I'm with you when we do it
Bb                       Eb
I could trade the views in
        Bb
For any pallet

Chorus:
Cm          F       Bb
Nothing can take my love away
Cm          F       Bb
Nothing can take my love away
