A7                     D
A month of nights, a year of days,
A7                  G
Octobers drifting into Mays,
     A7               D
I set my sail as the tide comes in
             G      A7            D   G  A7  G   D   G   A7
And I just cast my fate to the wind.


Verse 2...

    A7              D
I shift my course along the breeze,
       A7              G
Won't sail upwind on memories,
     A7              D
The empty sky is my best friend,
            G      A7            D   G  A7  G   D   G   A7
And I just cast my fate to the wind.


Bridge...

  A       D             G 
Time has such a way of changing 
   A7        D         G
A man throughout the years,
     A      D     G         A            D       G
And now I'm rearranging my life through all my tears,
 A9    D  A7    D
Alone,    a - lone.


Verse 3...

   A7                     D
There never was, there couldn't be
A7                   G
A place in time for men like me,
  A7                       D
Who'd drink the dark and laugh the day,
               G       A7           D  G  A7  G  D  G  A7
And let their wildest dreams blow away.


Repeat Bridge...


Verse 4...

A7                    D
So now I'm old, I'm wise and smart;
  A7                 G
I'm just a man with half a heart.
    A7           D
I wonder how it might have been
           G       A            D  G  A7  G  D  G  A7  G   D
Had I not cast my fate to the wind.
