E       G                     D
So they rode the sea, it went on and on
          G                     D
They were years away, though it seemed so long
        G                               D
But the captain never told them what he knew
       G                                         D
As the poor ship laboured on through the endless blue
A  D

[Verse 2]
        G                        D
Oh, the storm was strong and the ship was so frail
         G                   D
But they stumbled on raising broken sails
         G                                D
And they held the heavy sky on their open hands
         G                                               D
And they dreamed of when their poor feet would touch the land
A  D

[Refrain]
G                           D
Mabey we're going 'round in circles
G                               D
Where is this place we're going to?
G                       D
Does anybody know we're out here on the waves?
        G                         D
And are any of our signals coming through?
A  D
G                     D
We're going 'round in circles
G                          D
We have no single point of view
G                                D
And like the clouds that turn to every passing wind
   G                             D
We turn to any signal that comes through
A  D

[Verse 3]
       G                        D
At the edge of the sea were the signs of the dove
        G                     D
But the wrong way out and the wrong way up
              G                                   D
We pushed the empty frame of reason out the cabin door
       G                           D
No, we won't be needing reasons anymore
A  D
