[Ami7]drank away the rest of the day

[Am6]wonder what my liver'd say

[Fmaj7/A]drink, it's all you [Ami]can



[Ami7]blackened days with their bigger gales

blow [Am6]in your parlor to discuss the day

[Fmaj7/A]listen, it's all you [Ami]can



but [C]don't, don't sink the [G]boat

that you n[Dmi]eed, you build to keep af[Ami]loat.

no [C]don't, don't sink the b[G]oat

that you b[Dmi]uilt...



[Ami7]sick and tired of what to say

[Am6]jumped away from the ball and chain

[Fmaj7/A]breath, it's all you [Ami]can



[Ami7]rambling years of lousy luck

[Am6]miss the smell of burning turf

[Fmaj7/A]dream, it's all you [Ami]can



but d[C]on't, don't sink the b[G]oat

that you b[Dmi]uilt, you built to keep af[Ami]loat.

no d[C]on't, don't sink the b[G]oat

that you b[Dmi]uilt...

[Ami7]singled out for who you are

[Am6]takes all types to be a man

[Fmaj7/A]feel, it's all you [Ami]can



[Ami7]filthy suits with bigot ears

[Am6]hide behind their own worst fears

[Fmaj7/A]live, it's all you [Ami]can

i[F]t's all you [Ami]can

[F]it's all you c[C]an...d[Ami]o.

[Ami7]no matter where i put my head

[Am6]i wake up feeling sound again

[Fmaj7/A]breath, it's all you [Ami]can



[Ami7]tomorrow smells of less decay

[Am6]beats the bows that bloom the fray

[Fmaj7/A]be thankful, it's all you [Ami]can



but d[C]on't, don't sink the b[G]oat

no d[C]on't, no don't sink the b[G]oat

that you b[Dmi]uilt

we all built to keep af[Ami]loat
