Southern Cross chords

[A]Got outta town on a b[G]oat going to southern[D] islands
[A]Sailing a reach bef[G]ore a a following s[D]ea
[A]She was making for the t[G]rades on the out[D]side
[A]And the downhill [G]run to Paape[D]te
[A]Off this wind on this hea[G]ding lie the Marqu[D]eses
[A]We got eighty feet of the wate[G]rline nic[D]ely m[Bm]aking w[A]ay
[A]In a noisy bar in Aval[G]on I tried to call [D]you
[A]But on a midnight watch I [G]realized why tw[D]ice you[Bm] ran aw[A]ay
Think[A] about
Th[G]ink about how ma[D]ny times I [G]have fall[A]en
Sp[G]irits are using [D]me larger v[G]oices cal[A]ling
Wh[G]at heaven brought y[D]ou and me c[G]annot be for[A]gotten
I[D] have been arou[G]nd the wor[A]ld
L[D]ooking for that [G]woman gir[A]l
W[D]ho knows love c[G]ant ignore[A]
[A]And you know it will [G] [D]
[A]And you know it will [G] [D]
Wh[A]en you see the Southern [G]Cross for the first [D]time
Yo[A]u understand now wh[G]y you came this [D]way
C[A]ause the truth you might be[G] runnin from is so [D]small
B[A]ut its as big as the pro[G]mise
The pr[D]omise of a co[Bm]ming da[A]y

So Im sailing for tommorrow my dreams are a dying
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a flying
She is all that I have left
And music is her name

(Repeat chorus)

So we cheated and we lied and we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do
You will suvive being bested
Somebody fine will come along
Make me forget about losing you

In the southern cross............
