Verse 1

C
Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
G7                    C
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop and starin'
I can't see their faces
G7                        C
Only the shadows of their eyes

Verse 2

Dm                  G7
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
C                   C7
Through the fallin' rain
Dm                      G7       C      C7
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Dm                 G7
Backin' off of the northeast winds
C                 C7
Sailin' on summer breeze
Dm                G7           C
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Verse 3

Everybody's talkin' at me
I can't hear a word they're sayin'
G7                    C
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
G7                 C
No I won't let you leave
