A#                        C
Sailing heartships through broken harbors
Gm                       F
Out on the waves in the night
A#                     C
Still the searcher must ride the dark horse
Gm                    F
Racing alone in his fright

Chorus:
C       Gm A# F C
Tell me why
         Gm A# F
Tell me why
      F                                   A#
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
            C              A#
When you're old enough to repay
     Am              Dm
but young enough to sell

Tell me lies later, come and see me
I'll be around for a while
I am lonely but you can free me
All in the way that you smile
