Lost Coastlines

G
Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the key
                  Em
No one waving for me just the shoreline receding
C                               D
Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in
G
Cause who said sailing is fine?
                                            Em
Leaving behind all the faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride
C                                 D
Looking deep inside but I don't want to look so deep inside yet
G                                Em
Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye
                       C                    D
There might not be another star, farther on the line
G                                      Em
Look out, look out at each town that glides by
                    C                     D
And there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes
     G                                    Em
And see how that light you love now just won't shine
C
There might just be another star
                             G     D
That's high and far in some other sky
          G
We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set
      Em
And decide what a dance might mean to it
C                              D
Ruining the place where the ensuing may lay escape
      G
We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags
                                     Em
From the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags
                      C                               D
Black and battered rattling our swords in service of some fated, foreign, war
        G
And we sail out on order of him
    Em                        C
But we find that the maps he sent to us
                     D
Don't mention lost coastlines
          G                                             Em
Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined
                 C                      G     D
And we don't recognize the names upon strange signs
           G                                                Em
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide
              C                                   G   D
Well we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright
         G
Just go la la, la la la la
Em           C      D
La la la la, oh oh oh
         G
Just go la la, la la la la
Em           C      D
La la la la, oh oh oh
