Well they ^Dsaid if I wrote the ^Eperfect love song ^AYou would take me ^F#mback Well I ^Dwrote it, but I ^Bmlost it And now ^Ewill you take me back anyway

Now if, if you insist that this is for the best Well then I'll sail this ship alone And if, if you swear that you no longer care Well then I'll sail this ship alone

I'll sail this ship ^Aalone^A7 Between the ^Dpain and the ^Epleasure I'll sail this ship ^Aalone^A7 Amongst the ^Dsharks and the ^Etreasure If ^Dyou would ^Erather ^Dgo your ^Eway then ^Dgo your ^Eway N/C I'll sail this ship alone

If, if you're afraid that I won't make the grade Well then I'll sail this ship alone And if, if you agree to him instead of me Well then I'll sail this ship alone Well they said if I wrote the perfect letter That I would have a chance Well I wrote it, and you burned it And now do I have a chance anyway If, if you swear that you no longer care Well then I'll sail this ship alone [Chorus] Well they said if I burnt myself alive That you'd come running back Lyrics (C) 1989 Go!
