G
We sail we sleep we scry by land
G
We dig a pit beneath the sand 
C
A place to keep the sun at bay
G
At dark we rise and find our way 

Bm                   Em                G
With our faithful companion by our side 
Bm                   Em            C     G
Put it all on the table and let it ride 
Bm             Em           C
Close to the dropoff on our long slide 

G

G
The land we left becomes a dream 
G
The ghosts we knew, they rise like steam 
C
They leave some trails against the sky 
G
All but invisible to the eye 

Bm                   Em                G
With our faithful companion by our side 
Bm                   Em            C     G
Put it all on the table and let it ride 
Bm             Em           C
Close to the dropoff on our long slide 

D             Em
Call off the search party
C                        G
Let mourners wail by the shore 
D                           Em
Point to the spot where our ship disappeared 
Bm                         C
We're not coming home any more 

Bm C G G

G
Should you succeed and breach the coast 
G
You tell your friends you've seen a ghost 
C
You tell them all there's nothing here worth dying for 
G
You leave it there 

Bm                   Em                G
With our faithful companion by our side 
Bm                   Em            C     G
Put it all on the table and let it ride 
Bm             Em           C
Close to the dropoff on our long slide
