Gm                          D#
Saw the water, not the waves
                              A#
Caught your eye, forgot your name
                          Dm
Always leaving, either way
I want you to stop me

Gm                  D#
Episodes to fantasize
                 A#
TV movie of our lives
                   Dm
The future is all mine

                    D#  F
I'll find it on my way back
          D#
When I'm gone
       F             D#
I'll know what I've done
      F          D#      F
I'll go where I don't belong

Chorus:
     A#
It's all, not one
       F
I love everything
A#                F
No sleep; I lose everything
Gm                 F
Oh don't tell me again
Gm                F
I won't see you again
Not one
I love everything
No sleep; I lose everything
Oh, don't tell me again
I won't see you again

Saw the waves, but not the tide
I couldn't stay, I don't know why
A sailor married to the sea
My luck is a lost key

The door is locked from the inside
Don't wait around, I won't arrive
Keep a room somewhere for me
I'll find it on my way back

When I'm gone
I'll know what I've done
I'll go where I don't belong
