 Bm                         A        F#m 
Takin' on water, sailin' a restless sea 
            Bm C#m  D  E Bm 
From a memory,  a  fantasy 
                             A F#m   
The wind carries into white water                       
 
Far from the Islands 
 Bm   C#m   D    E 
Don't you know you're 
 
F#m E  G#m   F#m   D 
Nev-er going to   get to France 
        E                      F#m 
Mary Queen of Chance will they find you 
F#m E  G#m   F#m   D 
Nev-er going to   get to France 
         E                F#m 
Could a new romance ever bind you 
 
Walkin' in foreign grounds like a shadow 
Roaming in far off territory 
Over your shoulder stories unfold 
You're searching for sanctuary you know you're 
 
Never going to get to France... 
 
D           C#m                 D  E 
I see a picture by the lamp's flicker 
D                C#m                   D  E 
Isn't it strange how dreams fade and shimmer? 
 
Never going to get to France...
