[Verso 1]
Bm 
I would rather be 
  G              D 
A lover for my lady 
  G               D 
A mother for my baby 
       A 
Than a sailor on the sea 
Bm 
Underneath the lights 
        G                 D 
We look bigger than we are 
        G                         D 
We look brighter than the falling star 
   A 
Of brief celebrity

Bm                     G 
God only knows how the wind's gonna blow 
    D                  A 
And how it all flows together 
       Bm                  G 
If the words we use or the wars we choose 
          D                       A 
Are gonna change somebody for the better

[Verso 2]
Bm 
I know what it's like 
         G                D 
When you lose your inspiration 
       G                D 
Blow a fuse to the sensation 
         A 
That you used to feel so bright 
Bm 
Many are the things 
      G                     D 
In my mind that I would sing 
      G                      D 
In my soul that I would bring 
           A 
If I could find the words tonight
