The Ships Are Burning Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Steve And Annie Chapman

[VERSE]
[G]We made this journey. We sailed here toge[D]ther.[G]
We made a promise; we'd stay here for[D]ever.
And when we [C]reached the shore, we [G]kissed the ground.
You took my hand and we [C]turned around,
And we [D]smiled while we [G]watched the flames
[C]Light up the [D]night!

[CHORUS]
Cause the [G]ships are burning.
There'll be no turning [C]back
For you and me.[C] [D] [G]

What[G]ever we find here,

We've made it clear
Here is [C]where we'll always be.

And on this [Am]island of pleasure
[Em]There'll be some danger,
And we[C] might think about returning.

But we both know that [G]we won't go,
That's why (I [D]know [C]that's why) [D]
The ships are [G]burning.

[BRIDGE]
[C]Too many lovers are leaving their ships anchored [G]in the bay,
And [C]one by one, we watch them as they [G]sail a[D]way.

[Repeat part of Verse 1]
But when we [C]reached the shore, we [G]kissed the ground.
You took my hand and we [C]turned around,
And we [D]smiled as we [G]watched the flames
[C]Light up the [D]night!

[CHORUS]
Cause the [G]ships are burning.
There'll be no turning [C]back
For you and me.[C] [D] [G]

What[G]ever we find here,

We've made it clear
Here is [C]where we'll always be.

And on this [Am]island of pleasure
[Em]There'll be some danger,
And we[C] might think about returning.

But we both know that [G]we won't go,
And that's [D]why ([C]I know that's [D]why)
The ships are [G]burning.

I know that's [D]why (and [C]I know that's [D]why)
The ships are [G]burning.
