[Chorus]
G                D             C              G        D
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
G                D               C            G     D
We make a little history, baby, everytime you call around
 
[Verse 1]
G               D            C             G         D
Come loose your dogs upon me, and let your hair hang down
G                D           C                 G     D
You are a little mystery to me, every time you call around
 
[Verse 2]
C                  G         D   C               G      D
 We talk about it all night long, We define our moral grounds
Em                 G              C                    G        D
 But when I crawl into your arms, Everything, it comes tumbling down.
 
[Chorus]
G              D               C              G       D
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
G                D             C              G     D
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
 
[Verse 3]
C                     G   D   C                G       D
Your face has fallen sad now, for you know the time is nigh
Em            G               C                  G      D
When I must remove your wings, and you, you must try to fly
 
[Chorus]
G              D              C               G       D
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
G                D            C               G     D
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
 
[Verse 4]
G                D           C             G         D
Come loose your dogs upon me, and let your hair hang down
G                D           C                 G     D
You are a little mystery to me, every time you call around
 
[Chorus]
G              D              C               G       D
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
G                D            C               G     D
We make a little history, baby, everytime you come around
