 Bm                         A        F#m
Takin' on water, sailin' a restless sea
            Bm C#m  D  E Bm
From a memory,  a  fantasy
                             A F#m  
The wind carries into white water                      

Far from the Islands
 Bm   C#m   D    E
Don't you know you're


F#m E  G#m   F#m   D
Nev-er going to   get to France
        E                      F#m
Mary Queen of Chance will they find you
F#m E  G#m   F#m   D
Nev-er going to   get to France
         E                F#m
Could a new romance ever bind you

Walkin' in foreign grounds like a shadow

Roaming in far off territory

Over your shoulder stories unfold

You're searching for sanctuary you know you're

Never going to get to France...


D           C#m                 D  E
I see a picture by the lamp's flicker
D                C#m                   D  E
Isn't it strange how dreams fade and shimmer?

Never going to get to France...
