C       G
Walk a cold thin line
        F    G
In the morning
C         G
Hold the fear inside
                 F          G
That greets you with the day

Chorus:
 C          F
I can't go with you now
 C                    Am
I can only watch you now
F
watch you
Dm      G     C Em F G
As you sail away
       C Em F G
Sail away

I'm going to miss you now
So much more then I realised
There's a heavy stone of empty
Where you once lay

Chorus:
I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you
As you sail away

       F
Sail away
                      Em
I know you need your freedom
       F
Sail away
                              Am
Cause without it you can't survive
            F
Be on your way
                    Em
Disappear into the distance
Am      Dm
I smile and say
F      Fm
Sail away

Chorus:
I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you
As you sail away
