F    Bb           F       Dm      F          C#m
Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Cm                Fm                  D#
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
Cm Bb                             Dm 
As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'
Cm   F   Bbm    F                      Bb 
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide

    G          C
(*) Oh, it's a dirty old shame
Cm                              Fm           G
When all you get from love is a love song
Bb             Cm                    D#      F                Cm      Bb D#
That's got you layin' up nights just waitin' for the music to start
Gm          Cm                                       Fm               Dm     
It's such a dirty old shame when you get to take the blame for a love song
G           Cm                  D#      Fm            Cm      Bb  F
Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart
Gm                                    F    Dm
And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding
    Cm                         D#       Bb
The future that lies before me I cannot see
F        Bb                  Dm     Cm  D       Dm 
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
G#       Cm               F                 Cm  Bb
Lighting up the world for everyone, but not for me
