Sail on down the line
Am
About half a mile or so

Don't really wanna know where you're going
Maybe once or twice

Time after time I tried

To hold on to what we got
G
But now you're going

And I don't mind about the things you're gonna sail on

Bm Em C G C
But I'm giving you back your name

G Am G
I'm looking for a good time
Sail on down the line
Funny how the time can go
Friends says they told me so but it doesn't matter
It was plain to see
That a small town boy like me
Just wasn't your cup of tea
I was wishful thinking
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy
And you gave me nothing in return
You know it ain't so hard to say
Would you please just go away
I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of being used
I want everyone to know
I'm looking for a good time
Good time
(The scale changes here but to what, I don't know)
Sail on honey
Good times never felt so good
