Intro
Verse

I am a sailor, I am a sailor,

An' I've been on my hunt for treasure,
E E
When I find it, when I find it,
E
I will leave all else behind it.
Pre-Chorus

But the day hasn't come yet,

the day hasn't come yet,
B7
The day hasn't come.
Chorus
G D
They say the way your life is made,
G
Is only stars aligning,
D
On you go the seas'd roll,
G F#
Lonely souls a-pining.
C D G F# Em
The great unknown you live and hope the one that fits you right,
Am D
Won't pass you by.
Verse
I wanna see you, I wanna see you,
Though I have no idea what i'll do.
I wanna feel it, I wanna feel it,
I wanna feel that very moment.
Pre-Chorus
But the day hasn't come yet,
The day hasn't come yet,
The day hasn't come.
Chorus
They say the way your life is made,
Is only stars aligning,
On you go the seas'd roll,
Lonely souls a-pining.
Will we be those who meet and know a love on it's sight,
Or two ships in the night?

On you go the seas'd roll,
Lonely souls a-pining.
Will we be those who meet and know a love on it's sight,

Finish on G
