Verse 1:
    D            G        D
I'm sailin' on a teardrop sea
                 G      D
Since you walked out on me
                           A
Drifting in a world of loneliness
     D      G        D                     G     D
In a little run-down boat that will barely stay afloat
    D               G          D       A    D
Out on the teardrop sea, in my ship of misery

Chorus:
A                  A7         D         G        D
Waves of grief and sorrow are splashing tears on me
       A                A7          G                A
It's a long way back to happiness, across a troubled sea
     D        G        D                        G      D
Your love was warm and bright, 'til I shattered it one night
      D            G         D       A    D
Now I pay the penalty, in my ship of misery

Verse 2:
    E            A          E
I'm lookin' at a clear blue sky
            A          E
But it's no bluer than I
   E                                       B
As thoughts of you keep runnin' through my brain
     E          A        E                        A        E
I've sailed for days and nights, still there's no shore in sight
   E                  A         E       B    E
It looks hopeless for me, in my ship of misery

It's a long way back to happiness across a troubled sea
     E        A        E                        A      E
Your love was warm and bright, 'til I shattered it one night
      E            A         E       B    E
Now I pay the penalty, in my ship of misery
      E            A         E       B    E
Now I pay the penalty, in my ship of misery
      E            A         E       B    E
Now I pay the penalty, in my ship of misery
