(Intro)

Amaj7

I drive to the coastline

Emaj9 Amaj7 Emaj9

Looking for visual pleasures to catch my eye

Amaj7 Emaj9

The sun turns around hits me on the shoulder

Amaj7 Emaj9

I fly away

Amaj7 Emaj9

Due to the situation this morning

Amaj7 Emaj9

All in the world's OK

Amaj7 Emaj9

I head down Sunset north to Santa Barbara

Amaj7 F#7sus4 F#7

We sail away

B F#7

I could live in the walls of a prison

B F# B A

Where the warm summer winds would never blow

B F#7

Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side)

B F# B A Amaj7

And how some do it I'll never know, I'll never know

Emaj9 Amaj7 Emaj9

Amaj7 Emaj9

I must have spent a lifetime as a sailor

Amaj7 Emaj9

Sailin' the ocean blue

Amaj7 Emaj9 F#7sus4

But every single waterway leads to you

F#7

To you

B F#7

I could live in the walls of a prison

B F# B A

Where the warm summer winds would never blow

B F#7

Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side)

B F# B A F#7

And how some do it I'll never know, I'll never know

B F# B

F#7 B

I'm headin' out over an ocean of blue

F#7 B

The trailin' wake far behind

D#m G#m

Won't turn me down

C#m B F#

And it won't turn me around

B F#7

I could live in the walls of a prison

B F# B A

Where the warm summer winds would never blow

B F#7

Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side)

B F# B A Amaj7

And how some do it I'll never know, I'll never know
