Elton John – Sail Me Away chords

[Verse 1]
     AWhen stars are born.
    Bm/AAre they cast out?
   E                      D       ATo wander cold and lonely lost in space.
  Cdim7
A loveless point of light
             BmThat can't return.
   Bm7            EForever fixed within one place.

[Verse 2]
     A                Bm/AWhen love is lost and dreams are cast.
     E                           D       ALike bruised and battered pieces left to die.
     Cdim7
When hands that reach out are betrayed.
    Bm              Bm7           EHow can my tortured soul survive?

[Bridge]
             C#m       F#mThere's only one thing left.
               D                       EAnd that's the one thing that I needed most of all.
        C#m               F#mBut the freedom that I've gained
       Bm               Bm/A           G        G/F#   EIs the loss that led me aimless to the shore.

[Chorus]
        A     C#m7             F#m    F#m/EAnd I'm borne high on these waves.
D            A/C#     ESwept by the wind and alone.
A             C#m7                D       ESail me away, carry me back to my home.
    DI'm tired, I've been torn.
  E/D                  C#7           C#7/E      F#mA cruel wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones.
   F#m/E   BmOh sail me away.
D/E      E          Dadd2Carry me back to my home.

[Verse 3]
      AThese scars run deep.
    Bm/A                  E                     D       AThe future holds a hunger for an innocence that passed away.
   Cdim7           AMy callous shadows mock.
                  Bm               Bm7           EAnd make it clear some things were not enough to make them stay.

[Bridge]
           C#m         F#mThe moment time stands still
       D                         EIs the moment that the writing's on the walls.
    C#m                F#mThe words are clear as ringing bells
     Bm               Bm/A             G        G/F#   EThat pride is present right before the fall.

[Chorus]
        A     C#m7             F#m    F#m/EAnd I'm borne high on these waves.
D            A/C#     ESwept by the wind and alone.
A                 C#m7                D       EOh, sail me away, carry me back to my home.
    DI'm tired, I've been torn.
  E/D                  C#7           C#7/E      F#mA cruel wretched storm churns like a gail in my bones.
   F#m/E   BmOh sail me away.
D/E      E          Dadd2Carry me back to my home.
F#m/E   BmSail me away!
D/E      E          Dadd2   ACarry me back to my home!
