Southern Cross

**Chords:**
D   A   Bm   G

D                   A  
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time  
Bm                       G  
You understand now why you came this way  
D                   A  
'Cause the truth you might be running from is so small  
Bm                          G  
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day  

D                       A  
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a-dying  
Bm                       G  
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain  
D                     A  
I have my ship and all her sails are set  
Bm                          G  
I ain't never been so far away from home again  

D                   A  
And I still can see you standing by the road  
Bm                       G  
The wind is blowing, and I'm looking at the stars  
D                     A  
And I think of you and the way you smiled  
Bm                        G  
And the way you looked at me when we were young  

D                   A  
So I’m sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a-dying  
Bm                       G  
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain  
D                     A  
I have my ship and all her sails are set  
Bm                          G  
I ain't never been so far away from home again
