Introduction: D G A7 G D G
A7 D
A month of nights, a year of days
A7 G
Octobers drifting into Mays
A7 D
I set my sail as the tide comes in
G A7 D G A7 G D G A7
And I just cast my fate to the wind
A7 D
I shift my course along the breeze
A7 G
Won't sail upwind on memories
A7 D
The empty sky is my best friend,
G A7 D G A7 G D G A7
And I just cast my fate to the wind
Bridge
A D G
Time has such a way of changing
A7 D G
A man throughout the years
A D G A D G
And now I'm rearranging my life through all my tears
A9 D A7 D
Alone, alone
A7 D
There never was, there couldn't be
A7 G
A place in time for men like me
A7 D
Who'd drink the dark and laugh the day
G A7 D G A7 G D G A7
And let their wildest dreams blow away
Repeat Bridge
A7 D
So now I'm old, I'm wise and smart
A7 G
I'm just a man with half a heart
A7 D
I wonder how it might have been
G A D G A7 G D G A7 G D
Had I not cast my fate to the wind
