D Csus2 D Csus2 [Verse 1] D Csus2 Years ago a child's brown eyes stared at the mantle piece D Csus2 And wondered how the ship got in the bottle D Csus2 When he tried to find the answers, nobody would tell him D Csus2 And the ship just sat there in the bottle [Interlude] D Csus2 D Csus2 [Verse 2] D Csus2 Yesterday a man's brown eyes stared at the mantle piece D Csus2 And stared at the ship in the bottle D Csus2 The corners of his eyes teared when at last he realized D Csus2 He was sailing on that ship in the bottle [Chorus] G Cadd9 D I'm sailin' on that ship in the bottle with G Cadd9 G D No salt upon my pitch, or wind in my sails G Cadd9 D And I'm sailing on that ship in the bottle Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead [Interlude] D Csus2 D Csus2 [Verse 3] D Cadd2 The ship in the bottle never gets to run ashore D Cadd2 It sits there on the mantle piece like it sat there years before D Cadd2 No cargo in its hulls, no silver and gold D Cadd2 No leeward winds ahead my skin, no cannons to reload [Chorus] G Cadd9 D I'm sailin' on that ship in the bottle with G Cadd9 G D With no salt upon my pitch, or wind in my sails G Cadd9 D And I'm sailing on that ship in the bottle Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead [Interlude] D Csus2 D Csus2 [Verse 4] D Cadd2 The ship in the bottle is a reflection of me D Cadd2 Showin' me all of the things my eyes could never see D Cadd2 But still I wish and search for strength to set my spirit free D Cadd2 And take that dream on the mantle piece and sail it on the sea [Chorus] G Cadd9 D Now I'm sailin' on that ship in the bottle with G Cadd9 G D With no salt upon my pitch, or wind in my sails G Cadd9 D And I'm sailing on that ship in the bottle Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead Cadd9 G D Could there be a storm brewin' up ahead [Outro] D Csus2 D Csus2 D Csus2 D Csus2 D
