Lyrics

Like (Bb)sail in’ on a my sail in’ ship to no

(Cm7)where,

The love ture took o ver my heart like an o not cean breeze.

(F7)As (Bb)sea gulls fly, row I knew that I was (Dm7)los

in’.

Love ing was washed a way with the drift in’ tide.

Oh, it’s a (Cm)dirt y old shame when all you get from love is a (Bb)love song

that’s got you (Cm)lay in’ up nights just (Eb)wait in’ for the mu sic to start.

(G7)It’s such a (Cm)dirt y old shame when you (Eb)got to take the blame for a (Bb)love song,

be cause the (Cm)best love songs are (Eb)writ ten with a bro ken heart.

And (Bb)now the tears in my eyes are ev er blind

(Cm7)ing.

The fu ture that lies ver be fore me I can not cean see.

(F7)Al (Bb)though to mor row I know the sun is (Dm7)ris

in’,

light ing up the for ev one, but not for me.

Oh, it’s a (Cm)dirt y old shame when all you get from love is a (Bb)love song

that’s got you (Cm)lay in’ up nights just (Eb)wait in’ for the mu sic to start.

(G7)It’s such a (Cm)dirt y old shame when you (Eb)got to take the blame for a (Bb)love song,

be cause the (Cm)best love songs are (Eb)writ ten with a bro ken heart.
