Intro
Am G Dm Am
riff C G
verse 1
riff
Well they said there was nothing to worry about
C G
And they said there was no reason to shout
riff
But I saw the bulkheads cracking
C G
And for us there's no way out
riff
When we started on our journey
C G
No one ever could have foreseen
riff
Our desolate and lonely ending
C G
All I've got is helpless feeling
F G
But it doesn't take a genius to see
Am G Dm Am
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole in the ship
C G Am
And there's nothing we can do
C G Am
Our worst fears have now come true
C G Am
A few of us are struggling desperately
C G Am
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. Humanity
C C/B Am G
It's time to bail
Am riff C G
but I think it's too late
verse 2
riff
All my cohorts think I'm crackers
C G
They've embroiled the local matters
riff
And despite obvious warning
C G
They won't heed my futile chatter
F G
But there's something they outta know
Am G Dm Am
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole in the ship
C G Am
The end is oh so near
C G Am
The others show no interest or fear
C G Am
Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy
C G Am
Yeah nothing could patch the growing vacuity
C C/B Am G
It's time to bail,
Am
but I think it's too late
Bridge
Dm Am Dm Am C
Is it possible we have a social disease that makes us close our eyes in dangerous times
G Am
But I'm joining in nicely?
Dm Am Dm Am C
Or are we too aware and simply too scared to accept destiny, our mortality
G E7
Our mortality, yeah
Am G Dm Am
