G D
Tell me where you going and where you been /
Am C
Take me away from the world I’m in /
Cause when it’s filled with sin, crime, strife, and danger /
And everybody seems a little bit stranger /
I can’t seem to find my right of way, I say /
It’s getting harder every day, in every way /
It’s hard to explain how I feel, but I know the feeling is real /
G D
Whenever my ship sets sail, I’ll be on the shore /
Am C
Dancing with the ocean like I never did before /
And watch it as it comes and goes /
‘Cause I know that someone knows /
This is the life for me /
And whenever my ship sets sail /
I’ll be on the beach /
Waltzing to the water with the sand beneath my feet /
So I can watch another sunrise /
You know I can’t deny /
This is the life for me, the life for me /
Whenever my ship sets sail /
The water be my daughter /
Take it all away, leave me waiting for the slaughter /
After the fact it’s that this is my habitat /
This is the life for me /
And wherever the water runs deep /
You are not alone /
Look up in the sky, let the stars take you home /
After the fact it’s that, this life is where it’s at /
This is the life for me /
Tell me where you going and where you been /
Take me away from the world I’m in/
Cause when I’m giving in to all the pain and pressure /
And everybody out there is coming to get you /
I’ll never let them come and take my soul away, I say /
It’s getting harder everyday, in every way /
It’s hard to explain how I feel but I know the feeling is real /
Chorus /
G D
Everybody, all the time /
Am C
Everybody, get right now /
Everybody, all the time /
Everybody, get right down to it /
