VERSE:
G Dm
Cold cold ashes on the ground
Am G
Nothing lost and nothing found
G Dm
Friends and loved ones falling down
Am G
Can't you hear that mournful sound?
G Dm
Nothing left but memories
Am G
Things I still can't stand to see
G Dm
There's an empty spot in me
Am G
Where my hometown used to be
CHORUS:
G Dm C
This old boat is taking water
C G
It won't be long 'til it goes down
Dm F
Had enough to push us over
C Dm
Time to turn the wheel around
G Dm Am G
G Dm Am G
VERSE:
G Dm
Neighborhoods left to decay
Am G
People died or walked away
G Dm
There's nowhere left for them to stay
Am G
And we just look the other way
CHORUS:
G Dm C
This old boat is taking water
C G
It won't be long 'til it goes down
Dm F
Had enough to push us over
C Dm
Time to turn the wheel around

VERSE:
G Dm
Waves keep pounding through the night
Am G
Lost without a ray of light
G Dm
Going down without a fight
Am G
Is there still time to make it right?
CHORUS:
G Dm C
This old boat is taking water
C G
It won't be long 'til it goes down

Had enough to push us over

Time to turn the wheel around
