C G Am F C G C
C F
It's time for a change
C F G
I'm tired of that same old same the same old words
Am Bb G
the same old lines the same old tricks and the same old rhymes
C F C F
Days precious days roll in and out like waves
G Am
I got boards to bend I got planks to nail
Bb G
I got charts to make I got seas to sail
F G
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
C F
It'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Dm G
let the chips fall where they will cause
C G Am F C G C
I've got boats to build
C F
Sails are just like wings
C F G
The wind can make em sing songs of life
Am Bb G
Songs of hope songs to keep your dreams afloat
F G
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
C F
It'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Dm G
Let the chips fall where they will cause
C G Am F C G C
I've got boats to build
C F
Shores distant shores
C
There's where
F
I'm headed for
G Am
Got the stars to guide my way
Bb G
sail into the light of day
F G
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
C F
It'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Dm G
let the chips fall where they will cause
C G Am F C G C
I've got boats to build
