C Don't really wanna know, where you're going. C Dm Maybe once or twice you see, time after time I tried, C To hold on to what we got, but now you're going. Chorus 1: F G C C/B Am C7 And I don't mind, about the things you're gonna sail on, F G C C/B Am, C7 I give all my money and my time. F G C C/B Am G F I know it's a shame, but I'm giving you back your name, yeah, yeah. Bridge 1: F C Dm F C Dm Yes, I'll be on my way, I won't be back to stay. F C Dm C G I guess I'll move a-long, I'm looking for a good... time. Interlude: C, Dm, C Verse 2: C Dm Sail on down the line, it's, funny how the time can go, C Friends says they told me so, but it, doesn't matter. C Dm It was plain to see, that a, small town boy like me, C Just wasn't your cup of tea, I was, wishful thinking. Chorus 2: F G C C/B Am C7 I gave you my heart, and I tried to make you happy, F G C C/B Am And you gave me nothing in re-turn. C7 F G You know it ain't so hard to say; C C/B Am G F Would you please just go a-way?... yeah, yeah. Bridge 2: F C Dm F C Dm I've thrown away the blues, I'm tired of being used. F C Dm I want every-one to know; C G Bb F G I'm looking for a good... time. Good time... Coda: Fmaj7 Em7 Sail on, honey, Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 Good times, never felt so good.
