G (320033) Cadd9 (032033) C/G (332010  D/A (554030) 

[Verse 1]
G             Cadd9
Nights on the water
G            Cadd9
Nights spent alone
G                   Cadd9           G       Cadd9
I'm closing in on a lovely key west view
C/G                    D/A
and my mind is feeling hazy now
C/G               D/A
my bodies so damn lazy
  G               Cadd9           G     Cadd9
i believe, in the crazy things i do

[Chorus]
D                                                    Cadd9
so give me just a little more wind and sail and i'll be there
            G  Cadd9    G    Cadd9
before the day,         oh yeah
D                     Cadd9
give me just a little reason
D                     Cadd9             G    Cadd9     G    Cadd9
give me just a little reason to sail or stay

[Verse 2]
G                        Cadd9
Theres white caps on the left of me
G                      Cadd9
and black hills on the right
G                     Cadd9           G       Cadd9
I'm cruzing down the east coast water light
C/G                    D/A
and my ship is looking old and broke
C/G                    D/A
and i'm running out of things to smoke
        G            Cadd9            G        Cadd9
but I'm sailing, and Lord I'm feeling fine

[Chorus]
D                                                            Cadd9
so give me some strength to hold on to the wheel and i'll be there
        G   Cadd9    G        Cadd9
so far away..        ohh yeah
D                      Cadd9
give me just a little reason
D                     Cadd9               G    Cadd9    G    Cadd9
give me just a little reason to sail or stay
               C/G                    D/A
Yeah you gotta give me just a little reason
C/G                    D/A               G     Cadd9    G    Cadd9
give me just a little reason to sail or stay

[Bridge]
C
And i'll sail all night and i'll be alright
D
if the sky remains this clear
           C
And if the fish won't get in my fishing net
          D
Then i'll have to use my spear
        C/G                        D/A                 G
but the only reason that I'll ever pack it up and sail away
              D           Cadd9        D
is cause you never really asked me to stay

[Verse 3]
G               Cadd9
So follow every starlight
    G            Cadd9
and follow every dream
G                            Cadd9         G     Cadd9
and don't you fear cause the sea's got no end
    C/G                    D/A
and if my future starts to be looking dim
C/G                    D/A               G
I find I have to sink or swim don't you worry
          Cadd9              G         Cadd9
cause the sharks they are my friends

[Chorus]
D
so give me just a few more hours
            Cadd9              G      Cadd9
and I'll be floating, into the bay    Yes I will...
D                          Cadd9
they give me just a little reason
D                     Cadd9             G      Cadd9
give me just a little reason to sail or stay
               C/G                    D/A
yeah you gotta give me just a little reason
C/G                    D/A              G        Cadd9
give me just a little reason to sail or stay

[Outro]
           D                     Cadd9
and if you give me just a little reason
D                     Cadd9              G       Cadd9
give me just a little reason, and I will stay
            G         Cadd9
yes I will stay       oh yeah....      G    Cadd9    D   G/D
