Verse

Sailing heartships through
Broken harbours
Am7 (C)
Out on the waves
G (C)(G) C
In the night
Still the searcher must
Ride the dark horse
Racing along
In his stride

Chorus

Tell me why     
Tell me why  
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell 
C D Am7 (C) G

Verse

Tell me lies later
Come and see me
I'll be around for a while
I am lonely but
You can free me
All in the way that you smile

Chorus

Tell me why     
Tell me why  
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell 
C D Am7 (C) G
C D Am7 (C) G

Chorus

Tell me why     
Tell me why  
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself
When you're old enough to repay
But young enough to sell 
C D Am7 (C) G (to fade)
