G D/F# C9
He walked in with a salty sway
G D/F# C9
Lookin' like Blackbeard in his day

C9 D
The only time I, I feel alive is

G Em
When the wind fills my sail
Am7 D
Riding on a lifelong swell

Let my heart take me where it wants to go

Said, you know, we're both a dying breed

And living out life in the boat we're in
