[Intro]

Am7  Am6  Dm7  Am  x2


[Verse 1]
Am7
Drank away the rest of the day
Am6
Wonder what my liver'd say
Dm7                     Am
  Drink, that's all you can

Am7
Blackened days with their bigger gales
     Am6
blow in your parlor to discuss the day
Dm7                      Am
  Listen, that's all you can


[Chorus]
        C                         G
Oh, but don't, no, don't sink the boat
         Dm                        Am
that you built, you built to keep afloat
       C                         G
Oh no, don't, no, don't sink the boat
          Dm
that you built...


[Verse 2]
Am7
Sick and tired of what to say
Am6
No one listens anyway
Dm7                    Am
  Sing, that's all you can

Am7
Rambling years of lousy luck
Am6
Miss the smell of burning turf
Dm7                     Am
  Dream, that's all you can


[Chorus]
        C                         G
Oh, but don't, no, don't sink the boat
         Dm                        Am
that you built, you built to keep afloat
       C                         G
Oh no, don't, no, don't sink the boat
          Dm
that you built...
                         Am
that you built to keep afloat

[Verse 3]
Am7
Singled out for who you are
Am6
Takes all types to judge a man
Dm7                    Am
  Feel, that's all you can

Am7
Filthy suits with bigot ears
Am6
hide behind their own worst fears
Dm7                    Am
  Live, that's all you can
F             Am
  It's all you can
F             C      Am
  It's all you can...do

[Verse 4]
   Am7
No matter where I put my head
  Am6
I wake up feeling sound again
Dm7                     Am
Breathe, that's all you can

  Am7
Tomorrow smells of less decay
    Am6
The flowers greet this blooming fray
Dm7                           Am
  Be thankful, that's all you can


[Chorus]
        C                     G
Oh, but don't, don't sink the boat
         Dm                        Am
that you built, you built to keep afloat
       C                         G
Oh no, don't, no, don't sink the boat
         Dm                        Am
that you built, you built to keep afloat
       C                            G
Oh no, don't, oh no, don't sink the boat
            Dm                              Am
oh that you built, that you built to keep afloat

           Am
A ripe old age

A ripe old age

That's what I am
