Intro: G D C G D

G              D
Come sail your ships around me
C                G       D
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around 

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around 

C                G         D
We talk about it all night long
C             G       D
We define our moral ground
Em                 G
But when I crawl into your arms
C                 G        D
Everything comes tumbling down 

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around 

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly 

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around 

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
