         A                G/A
         D/A              A/C# D    D/E
 
[Verse 1]
        (w/piano, bass, and acoustic guitar)
                         A
        If there's one thing in my life that's missing
                  G
        It's the time that I spend alone
        D/F#                                   A
        Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
 
                 A
        There's lots of those friendly people
                  G
        They're showing me ways to go
             D/F#                            A
        But I never want to lose their inspiration
 
{ CHORUS }

        (w/piano, bass, and acoustic guitar 1st time)
         D    A
        Time for
         D     A
        Cool change
        D                 A
        I know that it's time
               E        A
        For a cool    change
 
             D           A
        And now that my life
        D           A
        Is so prearranged
        D                 A
        I know that it's time for a
         E
        Cool change

[Verse 2]
                     A
        Well, I was born in the sign of water
                   G
        And it's there that I feel my best
        D/F#                                       A
        The albatross and the whales they are my brothers
 
              A
        It's kind of a special feeling
                     G
        When you're out on the sea alone
          D/F#                           A
        Staring at the full moon like a lover
 
{ CHORUS }
        (w/piano, bass, and acoustic guitar 1st time)
         D    A
        Time for
         D     A
        Cool change
        D                 A
        I know that it's time
               E        A
        For a cool    change
 
             D           A
        And now that my life
        D           A
        Is so prearranged
        D                 A
        I know that it's time for a
         E
        Cool change
 
[Bridge]
              C
        I've never been romantic
             A
        And sometimes I don't care
           C
        I know it may sound selfish
             E                     A
        But let me breathe the air

        Out on the sea alone
