Far [Bb] away at the [C] shore, in a town beside the [Dm] sea
A[Gm] lone stands a [Am] girl, staring [A] longingly
It is [Bb] here, at the [C] shore, that she [Am] holds unto her [Dm] chest
A [Bb] secret she [C] dare never speak[Dm]
[Bb] “If you write a [Am] wish upon a paper and you [Dm] place
It [Gm] into a [A] glass bott[Dm] le
And [Bb] it’s washed away [C] by the [A] ocean then [Dm] someday
There’s a [Gm] chance that it may just come [E] true”
Drifting [F] farther [G] away, riding [Em] swiftly on the [Am] waves
A [Dm] message containing a [F] wish was [E] made
Heading [F] steadily toward[G] the [E] horizon[Am]
And [Dm] gradually [Em] fad[C] ing [F] away
[F] [Em] [F] [Em] [Dm] -[G] -[Em] -[Am] -[Bm] -[E] -[Am] [F] [G] [Em] [Am] [E] [A] [Am]
Through the [Bb] darkest of [C] days, you were [Am] always by my [Dm] side
No [Gm] matter what I [Am] would say, you [Dm] would [A] abide
Constant[Bb] ly I let my [C] selfishness [Am] take control of me
And [Bb] caused you a [C] life full of [Dm] gief
But [Bb] now, all [C] because of the mistakes that [Dm] I have made
You’re no [A] longer here with [Dm] me
In [Bb] order to [C] get all this [A] pain off of my [Dm] chest
I must [Gm] spill my woes into the [E] sea
Drifting [F] farther [G] away, [Em] little wish upon the [Am] waves
With [Dm] eyes full of [Em] tears, she reg[F] rets those [E] days
It is [F] then that she [G] real[Em] izes this:[Am]
Her [Dm] sin has taken every[C] thing [F] away
[G] [Em] [F] [E] [Am] [F] [E] [G] [Dm] [E] [Dm] [E]
Drifting [Am] farther [G] away, [Em] riding swiftly on the [Am] waves
A [Dm] message con[G] taining a [A] wish was [E] made
Heading [F] steadily [G] toward the [E] hori[Am] zon
And [D] gradually [C] fading away[Am]
[C] Drifting [F] farther [G] away, [Em] little wish upon the [Am] waves
A [Dm] message containing a [F] wish was [E] made
Heading [F] steadily toward[G] the [E] horizon[Am]
And [Dm] gradually [Em] fad[C] ing [F] away
Drifting [F] farther [G] away, [Em] little wish upon the [Am] waves
With [Dm] eyes full of [Em] tears, she reg[F] rets those [E] days
If the [F] day comes[G] that we are re[Em] born again[Am] ....[Dm] [Em]
[F]
