A E The gutter may profess its love
A C#m D Then follow it with hesitation
A C#m E D E But there are just so many of you out there for rent
A E A stronger girl would shake this off in flight
A C#m D And never give it more than a frowning hour
A C#m E But you have let your heart decide, loss has conquered you
D E D You've won one too many fights
E Wearing many hats every time
D E A D E But you wont win here tonight
A E You've made it through the direst of straits alright
A C#m D Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
A C#m You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes
Continues after the ad
E D E And I cannot lecture you
A E And does anything I say seem relevant at all?
A C#m D You've been at the helm since you were just five
A C#m E While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger
D E D But, you've won one too many fights
E D Wearing all of your clothes at the same time
E F#m Let the good times end tonight
G D E Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her, this time

F#m G F#m Just a moment or two from now
G F#m Not a mind will retain even a trace
G D Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell
E And how our stack of cards just fell
E|--| Verse 3--
A E So settle this once and for all
A C#m D The light no longer shows the cracks around my door
A C#m E And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight
E|--Chors--|
D E D You are not some saint who's above
E D Giving someone a stroll trhough the flowers
E F#m You've got so much more to dream of
G D Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her
E D This time
E D This time
E D This time
