INTRO
Dm Dm/A x4

VERSE1

Dm 	Dm/A 		F/Bb 	F
Moving, keep moving, the tour never stops.
	G 	G/B			C	C/E
In the light of petrol stations and cheap corner shops
	A7 	A7/E	Dm 		Dm/C 		Bb
I have finally figured a list of the things that I've got,
 			C     C/E
And the things that I'm not.

I need you, I need you, I need you to care,
When I'm moving it's soothing to know that you're there,
And that when I get home I can breathe you like heady fresh air,
For as long as I dare.


CHORUS

Bb 					F
Honey I'm sorry, but I've got my sea legs again.
Gm6* 							A7
If I stand on dry land for a minute, I feel sick and then
I have to start moving again.

Dm Dm/A x4

VERSE2
Dm 	Dm/A 		F/Bb 	F
From Glasgow to Moscow, from London to Lille,
G 	G/B		C	C/E
Sat on the platform or next to the wheel,
	A7 	A7/E	Dm 		Dm/C 		Bb
I haven't got space on this postcard to say how I feel,
 		C     C/E
But that was the deal.

I miss you, I miss you, but I don't ask your help.
When I'm out on the road I look out for myself;
I look after my guitar, my clothes and my wallet, my health,
And nothing else.


CHORUS

Bb 					F
Honey I'm sorry, but I've got my sea legs again.
Gm6* 							A7
If I stand on dry land for a minute, I feel sick and then
I have to start moving, on again and...


MIDDLE

   Dm Dm/C Dm/F Dm/G A7  BASS: G/F#/E
You're on my phone again, well,
		Bbm
What do you want me to say,
		F	C
When I'm this far away?
       Dm Dm/C Dm/F Dm/G A7  BASS: G/F#/E
And you don't know where I am, well,
		Bbm
You're not the only one.
F		C	Dm
I am lost and I'm gone away
    Bbm			     F
Oh Darling Thou Pluckest Me Out
C			Dm
And I don't even know where you are
    Bbm			     F
Oh Darling Thou Pluckest Me Out
C				Dm Bbm A7 A7*
And I don't even know who you are anymore


CHORUS

Bb 					F
Honey I'm sorry, but I've got my sea legs again.
Gm6* 							A7
If I stand on dry land for a minute, I feel sick and then
I have to start moving again.
