A D E
That time when we were crossin' the Atlantic
A D F#m
The moment now we reached the middle
A D E
You turned to me and said something romantic
F#m E A
"I've won the race and you're the medal"
A D E
And all the ocean liners we were passing
A D F#m
Are nothing on a selling whistle
A D E
And as the waves were rolling we were dancing
F#m E A
Like we had enough to lose a little
B A E
So sure we were contenders
B A
So strong and willing to fight
F#m E
But it's a long way down
A D
when you're far from the ground
F#m E A
And I've been falling most of my life
F#m E
And though the sunshine's on
A D
even after you're gone
F#m E A
I feel sorry for the wasted light
A D E
Spill off the port into a crowded mainstream
A D F#m
Looking for somewhere to settle
A D E
Soon enough we're lost inside the mystery
F#m E A
We'll be strangers before night settle
F#m E A
With so much to say we've said too little
B A E
Back then we were pretenders
B A
So young and ready to fight
Oh
F#m E
But it's a long way down
A D
when you're far from the ground
F#m E A
And I've been falling most of my life
F#m E
And though the sunshine's on
A D
even after you're gone
F#m E A
I feel sorry for the wasted light
Oh
F#m E
But it's a long way down
A D
when you're far from the ground
F#m E A
And I've been falling most of my life
F#m E
And though the sunshine's on
A D
even after you're gone
F#m E A
I'm just shaking hands with wasted time
F#m E A
I'm still praying you come home one night
A D E
So here I am crossing the Atlantic
F#m E A
Maybe see you at the middle
