Dm   Bb   (X 2)

Dm               Bb
  My boat drift away
F                            C
  I want to travel with the ways
Dm               Bb
  I have no destination
   F
  You can’t be disappointed
          C                   Dm   Bb
  If you have no expectation

Dm                     Bb
  I let the wind fill my lungs
F                         C
  And the sun to dry my skin
Dm                          Bb
  I write your name in the sand
  F                            C
  I sit here and wait for the day 

  To come in 

       Gm    C     F        Dm
  What if today I say I’ll stay
          Gm         C
  Who to change anything
            F            Dm    Bb    Dm    Bb   
  Would it take away my dreams 

Dm                  Bb
  Grass between my toes
   F                C
  Reminds me places I used to know
Dm                  Bb
  Summer days back home
         F                     
  When I 
                       C
  Thought I knew where 
           Dm   Bb
  I belong

Dm                Bb
  To jump back is no cry
F                        C   
  So I pack my bags for last time
Dm                  Bb
  I put on my shoes and go
F                    C
  I am weary of the road

       Gm    C     F        Dm
  What if today I say I’ll stay
          Gm         C
  Who to change anything
            F            Dm    
  Would it take away my dreams 
         Gm    C     F              Dm
And what if today I make my bed and lay
         Gm          C
Who to change everything 
            F          Dm   Bb   Dm   Bb   Dm \
Would you still be the same

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
