Sail on, gypsy of my heart
    D              Em
You've been hanging around
   C                G
Been with me from the start
 G         C          G
Sail on, sail on silver girl
    D                Em
You've been spinning me fast
   C              G
Like a tilt-a-whirl

   C                G
I've done a lot of living
F#º       Em
In this town
 C/G                G
I've done a lot of flying
    D            Em
My feet on the ground
   C                G
You can't build your bridges
F#º                    Em
After you've burned them down
 C/G                G
I've done a lot of living
    D           C9      G
But I'm dying now

 G         C               G
How long, how long should it take
    D                Em             C          G
For you to learn your lessons from all your mistakes?
  G         C               G
How long until the well runs dry
               D           Em
Your bucket's coming up empty
   C            G
You're wondering why

You've done a lot of living

Dying now

 G
So long
C               G
Everything must go
    D                Em
I can't leave it behind
 C                   G
If I've never really known
  G         C               G
So long to "nothing matters now,"
            D             Em
Who knows if I stand a chance?
   C            G
But I'm trying anyhow

   C                G
Cause I've done a lot of living
