[Bridge]

Bm         BmMaj7     Bm7       B7
 Out on the ocean,    sailing away
G            D7
I can hardly wait! 
G                  D7
To see you come of age!
G                 D7                   A
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
G                        D7
Cause it's a long way to go
G             D7
A hard row to hoe
G                      D7               A
Yes it's a long way to go but in the meantime...


[Verse 3]

           D         D6    D  D6                
Before you cross the street

take my hand
D       D6              D                D6          D     D6    D  D6
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans
