Waiting at the water's edge, watching all the ships

As they are heading for the harbour wall;
      Cm         G#maj7     Cm          G#maj7
I was just a boy,     I was just a boy,
                Cm         G#maj7                 Cm         G#maj7
Dreaming of the wide world,       dreaming of the wide world,
(Verse 2)

Watching as they disappear, reading out the names of
A#/D    D#            G#    A#
All the places I have never been;
        Cm         G#maj7        Cm          G#maj7
Looking out to sea,      looking out to sea,
              Cm         G#maj7              Cm         G#maj7

Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away

With you tonight,      with you tonight
(Verse 3)
Cm
Walking down another street, underneath the red lights
A#/D D#                 G#      A#
I am watching where the shadows fall,
        Cm         G#maj7          Cm          G#maj7
Looking at the girls,    listening to the girls,
              Cm         G#maj7               Cm         G#maj7
Dreaming of a new world,     dreaming of that new world,

Ooh,     Oooh,    Ooh,    Oooh, I wish I was

Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
        Cm           G#maj7        Cm           G#maj7
In your arms tonight,      in your arms tonight
(Outro)
             D#       G#   D#       G#
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
D#       G#  A#    Cm      G#maj7     Cm
Sailing away, with you now,      with you now.
