Intro: EmEm
I got a fresh tattoo of a broken heart
You'd think I'd learn by now but I ain't that smart
DEm
I got a pocket full of nothing, head full of lukewarm beer
EmBm
I just wanted to make myself feel good
DA
Feel like I've been understood
GAD/F#Em
I was wrong, I've been wrong three times this year
Em
I pushed off from shore in this leaky boat
With my only friend, a bottle of whiskey in my coat
DEm
I was going to drown my sorrows, discuss my attitude
EmBm
I lay down on my back, I started to curse
DA
Insulted every planet in the universe
GAEm
Hey Jupiter, if you're listening, I didn't mean to be that rude
D
Hey la, la, la, hey la, la, la, hey la, la, la,
Em
How hard can it be?
D
Hey la, la, la, hey la, la, la, hey la, la, la,
Em
How hard can it be?
Let me tell you now,
GAD/F#Em
I just ran out of whiskey and I'm stranded out at sea
Em
Now as the light begins to fade the sun disappears
I see a siren singing in a sea of tears
DEm
I know it's you, I can tell by your hair
EmBm
And my pulse begins to quicken as I row through the tide
DA
I want to lay my head down at your side
GAD/F#Em
Then you slip into the sea, you're gone, that ain't fair
Em
The sea was as black as a pirate's soul
A black velvet bag, a big dark hole
DEm
Just reflections of the mocking moon above
EmBm
Then a shooting star shot across the skies
DA
It was then I began to realize
GAEm
I would give it all away if I could have your love
(Chorus)
Em
Now I pulled myself together, had a little chat
With my empty bottle and this little cat
DEm
He'd been hiding, he'd been there for a while
EmBm
Well I told him how I missed you, how you made me feel
DA
And even though that cat wasn't real
GAD/F#Em
It cheered me up and it made me smile
Em
I stood up in that boat and I laughed till I cried
I danced a little two-step with my pride
DEm
Then I thought about jumping in again, I was so alone
EmBm
Well you know I couldn't do it cause I'm standing here
DA
It may have been the liquor, it may have been the fear
GAEm
Besides how would that cat have got back home?
