Captains
This is in the key of the original track; however I prefer playing/singing it in the key of C.
Verse
E B C#sus2 E
High above the Earth, hours before we land
E B C#sus2 E
Morning slowly breaks and dawn’s lifting
E B C#sus2 E
The only one awake, so gently in my hands
E B C#sus2 E
I trace a hundred lives, through darkness drifting
Chorus
Esus2 F#m Asus2
I will bring you back, I will hold you
Esus2 F#m Asus2 B F#
My arms are strong, they will enfold you
(Continue chords from first verse and chorus)
Verse
Far out at sea, a hundred miles from shore
A storm begins to rise and the tide’s turning
Driving wind and rain, to try my skills once more
Testing yet again, all my craft and learning
Chorus
All my love to calmer seas, I will steer you
And you’ll be safe, when I am near you
Bridge
G#m
For we search on every side, for a compass and a guide,
B F#
Someone with the atlas and the charts
E B F# E
Oh we say please be the captain of my heart
F# E C#sus2 E
My heart
Verse (same chords as before)
We turn away from town, and steer towards the west
The rain beats on the roofs, as the Sun is setting
Chorus
Esus2 F#m Asus2
You close your eyes and see you’re sleeping
Esus2 F#m Asus2
And as you dream you’re in my keeping
Esus2 F#m Asus2
At last when you wake and look around you
Esus2 F#m Asus2 B F#
I have brought you back and I have found you
