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 Am Dm No, no F G I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship Am Dm No, no F G I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it 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 F G And what's in your way you walk right through Am But shine with me is all you do Dm And when I shine I shine your shoes F G Would this be your take on give and take? Am And behind the flashy scene Dm I recognize the signs of dream F G So I ring, I ring, I ring, I ring the bell Am Dm No, no F G I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship Am Dm No, no F G I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it Am Dm No, no F G I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship Am Dm No, no F G I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it Am Dm F G x 4 Am Oh you're great, I can't refuse Dm I'm saying 'Thank you' when abused F G And the blows I take them as your gifts Am But treasures can't be found this way Dm Love is made of work not play F G But you've never been lonely so you're never gonna realize Am Dm No, no F G I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship Am Dm No, no F G I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it Am Dm No, no F G I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship Am Dm No, no F G I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it
