[Intro]
 
D  A  F#m  E
D  A  E  A
 
 
[Verse]
 
                   D   A
I feel just like a sailboat
             F#m       E
I don't know where I'm headed
                       D    A
But you can't make the wind blow
       E   A
From a sailboat
 
       D        A
I have seen the sun
         F#m       E
Felt the rain on my skin
          D        A
I've been lost and found
           E         A
But mostly I've been waiting
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       D
Oh I'm out in the waves
    A
I'm hoping and praying
F#m                          E
Please let this wind blow me home
D                             A
Night after night there's and empty horizon
       F#m              E
And my God do I feel so alone
        D           D             E
Somtimes life, most times I, feel just like a sailboat
 
D  A  F#m  E
 
 
[Verse]
 
           D       A
I'm pretty sure I'm heard
           F#m      E
At least I know I'm speaking
           D      A
But I feel like a fool
              E        A
Cause I can't hear you listening
 
            D      A
But I'm not giving up
          F#m     E
I'm gonna move on forward
          D        A
I'm gonna raise my sail
                   E      A
God knows what I'm headed towards
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       D
Oh I'm out in the waves
    A
I'm hoping and praying
F#m                          E
Please let this wind blow me home
D                             A
Night after night there's and empty horizon
       F#m              E
And my God do I feel so alone
        D           D             E
Somtimes life, most times I, feel just like a sailboat
 
D  A  F#m  E
 
 
[Bridge]
 
         D        A
The only change I see
        E        A
Lost or found at sea
         D     A                     E        A
The only difference is believing I'll make it end
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       D
Oh I'm out in the waves
    A
I'm hoping and praying
F#m                          E
Please let this wind blow me home
D                             A
Night after night there's and empty horizon
       F#m              E
And my God do I feel so alone
       D
Oh I'm out in the waves
    A
I'm hoping and praying
F#m                          E
Please let this wind blow me home
D                             A
Night after night there's and empty horizon
       F#m              E
And my God do I feel so alone
        D                 D       E (end on E)
Somtimes life, most times I, feel just like a sailboat

It is perfectly fine. If you really want to play it the way Ben does transpose it down 2 steps and put it on capo 3.

I think it was fine, I mean I fixed some things here and there, but a great guidline.. If you don't like the chords, fix them to your liking, don't just post hater comments everywhere, jeez.

Nice tab! Alternate way of playing is capo 3 and play it in G. Might even be easier that way. Intro: C - G - em - D, C - G - D - G Good Job!
