Intro: Bm G D A
 
Bm
So the sea has gone to take me
G
Maybe now I'd fell it fall
D
I tell myself I won't get astray
A
I believe it's going be hard
Bm
So I look across the lake
G
To a point far out of sight
D
Over me comes the rain
A
And I be gone
 
But then one night
Bm
I'm looking for ways over water
G
I'm looking for ways to go
D G
I'm looking for ways over water
A
I'm looking for ways back home
Bm
I'm looking for ways over water
G
I'm looking for ways to go
D G
I'm looking for ways over water
A Bm G D A Bm G Bm D A
I'm looking for ways back home
Bm
I ain't afraid of leaving
G
And all those things I left behind
D
Most of them ain't ment to last
A
None of them ain't even mine
Bm
Too tired of marking time
G
Giving too much away
D
Not a single dime is left
A
So I'm calling better days
Bm
I'm looking for ways over water
G
I'm looking for ways to go
D
I'm looking for ways over water
A
I'm looking for ways back home
Bm
I'm looking for ways over water
G
I'm looking for ways to go
D
I'm looking for ways over water
A
I'm looking for ways back home
Bm
I'm looking for ways over water.....
