CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] Am
[VERSE 1:]
I was at the breakwall, I was looking at the sea
D Am
In back of an eight ball, in some misery
There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools
D Am
They were headed into the harbour with all their broken rules
[CHORUS:]
C D Am
Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I can just pick up the phone
C D Am
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
C D Am D
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home
C
Anyway I can't lose myself
D A G
The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm
D A G
Fading away
D A G D A
fading away
[VERSE 2:]
Am
They sailed right up to meet me, I said, "What's it all about
D Am
Please try to excuse me, we can work things out
If you've ever wondered, if that mighty ship is real
D Am
Let me tell ya 'bout it brother, it was something you could feel"
[CHORUS:]
C D Am
Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I let twilight set the tone
C D Am
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
C D Am
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way to roam
D C
Ain't living high on the hog right now
D A G
The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm
D A G
Fading away
D A G D

[VERSE 3:]
Am
One more day on the calendar in my mind
D Am
I am down around the breakwall putting in some time
The whole ship of fools has gotten safely under way
D Am
And I was proud to be a part of what it was they had to say
[CHORUS:]
C D Am
Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I can just pick up the phone
C D Am
Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone
C D Am D
They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home

Anyway I can't lose myself
