      [Verse]
   Am        F           E            E
I left Sabinal years ago when I was just a child
     Am         F              E      E
Was haunted until all my youth was burned
Am          F    Am        F
Still, I got away but only yesterday
  Am          G              F     E
I realized that somehow I had returned


  Am           F              E          E
A boat is in the distance but too far away to catch
  Am          F            E      E
I only love the sea when I'm ashore
    Am           F      Am           F
How much of that is me? How much just memories
   Am              G           F     E
Of something someone told me long ago

[Chorus]
      F       E   E        F      G F E
Do I leave as a criminal or do I stay as a coward?

[Verse]
Am          F               E             E
Winter always plays with me, it ties me to the ground
     Am              F              E    E
Then cuts me loose and throws me to the sky
  Am       F     Am         F
I suddenly unwind, reveal another side
      Am           G           F     E
And say everything I was was just a lie

[Chorus]
     F        E   E        F      G F E
Do I leave as a criminal or do I stay as a coward?

[Verse]
    Am          F            E            E
The longer I will stay the harder it will be to leave
   Am              F       E    E
It looks as if there is no odyssey
     Am        F      Am           F
But maybe this is it, then surely I must quit
     Am            G            F     E
The lotus plant that holds me, tenderly
    Am             G            F     E
The lotus plant that keeps me, quietly
