  Farewell  nightmares; I      am    free! 
  G        Dsus4      Gsus2 Em7 
  Welcome, streams of sweet dreams, 
       Cadd9  Bm/G G* 
  That settle over me! 
  G    Gsus2 D   Dsus4 
  What lies  out there, 
  Cadd9  Bm/G   Em7 
  No     one    knows; 
 
      G          Gsus2    D  Dsus4 
  The tide could bring in anything, 
     Cadd9  Bm/G   G* 
  So steady as she goes; 
  Cadd9  Bm/G   G* 
  Steady as she goes. 
 
  Cadd9* G   Bm/G G* 
  I      can feel her, 
     Cadd9 G    D      (Em7) 
  As I     lie  awake. 
      Cadd9      G 
  But she's back home, 
        D       Em7        
  Still waiting alone, 
         Cadd9   G       Gsus2 
  When   m o r n i n g   breaks.

  Post - war n o v e l s, 
  Cadd9 G  D      (Em7) 
  Keep  us alive. 
      Cadd9  G         D        Em7 
  And I know she'll be dying to see me, 
       Cadd9  G  Gsus2 
  When I      arrive! 
 
  G  (Cadd9) D  Em7 
  Hey dear   sister,

  How    are   you?

  We al-ways knew you    would be, 
      G    Dsus4  (Gsus2)  Em7  Cadd9    Bm/G        G* 
  The most angelic actress this dramatic world would see; 
          Cadd9   Bm/G  G* 
  And the critics do    agree! 
 
  Cadd9   G     D     Em7 
  S e v e r a l state lines, 
  Cadd9 Bm/G G* 
  Keep  us   apart. 
      G          Dsus4 
  But don't lose sleep, 
        (Gsus2)     Em7       Cadd9  G     Gsus2 
  Cause I'll always keep you, in     my    heart! 
  Cadd9 G    D     Em7 
  Crash-ing, white caps, 
  Cadd9 G  D      (Em7) 
  Keep  us alive. 
      Cadd9     G       D        Em7          Cadd9     G Gsus2 
  And she knows I'll be dying to see her, the next time I arrive! 
 
  G    Gsus2 D   Dsus4 
  What lies  out there, 
  Cadd9  Bm/G   Em7 
  No     one    knows; 
 
      G          Gsus2    D  Dsus4 
  The tide could bring in anything, 
     Cadd9  Bm/G   G* 
  So steady as she goes; 
  Cadd9  Bm/G   G* 
  Steady as she goes; 
  Cadd9  Bm/G    -wait- G* 
  Steady as   she   gooooooes.
