Captain Of Your Sinking Ship

Am
Oh, you tore my fences down
Dm
Bulldozered into my town
F                           G
Promises of changes within reach

Am
Showed me views I've never seen
Dm
Never grasped, not even dreamed
F                               G
(What I had grew paler?) day by day

[Chorus]
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I don't wanna be the captain of 
           G
your sinking ship
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I'll be gone too if you're gonna 
        G
run from it

[Verse 2]
Am
Pictures of an other place
Dm
Prospects I have never faced
F                               G
Everything you show me seems to glow

Am
And below your feet, behold
Dm
The street you walk is paved with 
gold
Continues after the ad
F                             
And what's in your way you walk 
        G
right through

Am
But shine with me is all you do
Dm
And when I shine I shine your shoes
F                                 
Would this be your take on give 
  G
and take?

Am
And behind the flashy scene
Dm
I recognize the signs of dream
F                                 
So I ring, I ring, I ring, I ring 
    G
the bell

[Chorus]
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I don't wanna be the captain of 
           G
your sinking ship
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I'll be gone too if you're gonna 
        G
run from it
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I don't wanna be the captain of 
           G
your sinking ship
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I'll be gone too if you're gonna 
        G
run from it

[Instrumental]
Am  Dm  F  G  x 4

[Verse 3]
Am
Oh you're great, I can't refuse
Dm
I'm saying 'Thank you' when abused
F                                 
And the blows I take them as your 
G
gifts

Am
But treasures can't be found this 
way
Dm
Love is made of work not play
F                             
But you've never been lonely so 
                      G
you're never gonna realize

[Chorus]
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I don't wanna be the captain of 
           G
your sinking ship
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I'll be gone too if you're gonna 
     G
run from it
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I don't wanna be the captain of 
           G
your sinking ship
Am  Dm
No, no
F                                 
I'll be gone too if you're gonna 
         G
run from it
