[Verse 1]
C           G
Let me out, I can't breathe 
                      C
Gotta get out of this concrete hole
C               G
I'm wrecked and I'm decked
                               C
I've gotta break free before I lose control

[Chorus]
   C              G
So cast the lines away
                             Am
From the dock at the harbour bay
                                G
All those cares and worries and woes
                              F
You can save them for another day
              C  G     G  C
Because we're sailing, sailing

[Verse 2]
C              G
Give me space, I'm on fire
                          C
Banging my head against a hard brick wall
C             G
And I'm gone, so long
                                 C
You can leave a message but I'll never call

[Chorus]
C              G
Cast the lines away
                             Am
From the dock at the harbour bay
       C           G
It's a fine bright day
                        F
And the wind is blowing away
        C  G     G  C
Lets go sailing, sailing
