       E           A               E
Sail away to the place across the sea
                    A             E
Leave today so you cannot bother me
         A              E
And you cannot fail to see
         B                             E
That it doesn't really matter much to me
       B              A                   E
No it doesn't really matter that much to me

Blown away any time I wanted you
Played away so I thought I'd try it too
Just to see what I could do
But it didn't really matter much to me
No it didn't really matter that much to me

Chorus:
               A                         E
Living on the east side, looking to the west side
                 A     C#m          B
Looking on the bright side, bright side
                A                          E
Stepping over that line, checking out the birth-sign
               A    C#m        B
Making up for lost time, lost time

Sail away, don't believe I give a damn
Go today, go and leave me as I am
I'll remember when I can
And it doesn't really matter much to me
No it doesn't really matter that much to me

Chorus

Sail away, could it be I've found away
For today is the day I'm gonna write
'Bout the story of my life
Will it ever really matter much to me?
Will it ever really matter that much to me?

Chorus

                 A    C#m            B
Looking on the bright side, bright side
               A                           E
Stepping over that line, checking out the birth-sign
