[Intro]
D Dmaj9 Em11/D (x4)
[Verse 1]
[D]I got high[Dmaj9]
With an art teache[Em11/D]r of mine
[D]I learned how to paint
[Dmaj9]Portraits and landscapes with [Em11/D]perspective
[Verse 2]
[D]But I've been sitting here
The better part of [Dmaj9]eighteen years
Blank stare blank [Em11/D]canvas
[D]In need of a new [Dmaj9]view
Of some new [Em11/D]scenery to render[D][D]
[Chorus 1]
Gmaj7 D
There's a boat leaving
Where it [Gmaj7]goes
N.C.
I don't know
[Verse 3]
[D] [Dmaj9] [Em11/D]
[D] [Dmaj9] [Em11/D]
I've been buried [D]alive
[Dmaj9] My history teacher by my [Em11/D]side
Lest I [D]forget those mistakes
[Dmaj9]That better men have made[Em11/D]
The battles fought and lost[D]
[Dmaj9] Small victories at what [Em11/D]cost?
The [D]curriculum is dated
My [Dmaj9]inspiration fading
[Em11/D] A slow setting sun[D][D]
[Chorus 2]
Gmaj7 D
There's a boat leaving
Where it [Gmaj7]goes
D
Well, I don't know
But if it [Gmaj7]floats
I'm [Dmaj7]get - [D/A]ting on
[Gmaj7] With or without you
[Bridge]
[D] [D6] [Gmaj9]
[D] [D6] [Gmaj9]
[D] The winds are [D6]strong enough[Gmaj9]
[D] Our native tongues will [D6]fail us[Gmaj9]
[Dmaj9]Oh, the [Gmaj9]pleasure I would [Dmaj9]take[Gmaj9]
Dmaj9 Gmaj9 D
In renaming everything
[Chorus 3]
Gmaj7 D
Gmaj7 D
There are boats leaving
Where they [Gmaj7]go
D
I don't know
But it's a [Gmaj7]chance
To see [Dmaj7]some - [D/A]thing [Gmaj7]new
[Dmaj7] [D/A] Will you [Gmaj7]come with me?
[Outro]
