Intro:

E F#m G A
E F#m7 G
E F#m G A
E F#7 F#m7 G

Verse 1:
   E          F#m              G               A
Consider me a widow, boys, and I will tell you why
             E                F#                G      A
It's not the man but it's the marriage that was drowned
     E                 F#m                G             A
So I walk the walk and wait with watchful eye up to the sky
        E             F#7           G          A
Looking for a kind of vessel I have never found

E F#m7 G A
E F#m7 G

Verse 2:
Em              F#m             G              A
Though I saw it splinter I keep looking out to sea
       E               F#             G      A
Like a dog with little sense I keep returning
       E       F#            G                A
To the very area where I did see the thing go down
              E                F#               G       A
As if there's something at the site I should be learning

Chorus:
     E           A
That line is the horizon
   E         G        A
We watch the wind and set the sail
    E       G               A
But save ourselves when all omens
         E   G A
Point to fail

E G A

Verse 3:
    E             F#                 G                A
And if I tell the truth then I would have to tell you this
         E              F#m             G    A
Though I grieve and I believe I feel it truly
      E                 F#           G               A
But I knew the ship was empty by the time it hit the rocks
                Em               F#7         G     A
'Cause we could not hold on when fate became unruly

Bridge:
      Em7        F#m7             G               A
So consider me a widow, boys, and I have told you why
         Em7           F#m7          G       A
Does the weather say a better day is nearing?
         Em7             F#m7          G             F#
And I'll set my house in order now and wait upon the will
            Em7               F#m7            G       A
'Cause it's clear that I need better skill in steering

Chorus:
     E           A
That line is the horizon
   E         G        A
We watch the wind and set the sail
    E       G               A
But save ourselves when all omens
         E   G A
Point to fail
     E           A
That line is the horizon
   E         G        A
We watch the wind and set the sail
    E       G               A
But save ourselves when all omens
         E   G A
Point to fail
         E   G A
Point to fail
         E   G A
Point to fail
