Intro
Gm A#
[Verse 1]
Gm
I used to be such a burning example
A#
I used to be so original
Gm
I used to care, I was being cared for
A#
Made sure I showed it to those that I love
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I used to sleep without a single stir
D#
'Cause I was about my father's work
[Chorus 1]
Gm
Well take me out tonight
A#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
Gm
A# millstone around my neck
A#
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
Gm A#
[Verse 2]
Gm
I used to pray like God was listening
A#
I used to make my parents proud
Gm
I was the glue that kept my friends together
A#
Now they don't talk and we don't go out
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed
D#
Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it
Gm A#
[Chorus 2]
Gm
Well take me out tonight
A#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
Gm
A# millstone around my neck
A#
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
Gm
Throw me that lifeline
A#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
Gm
A# millstone around my neck
A#
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
[Interlude]
Cm Dm
Never hit the brakes
D#
There's no time to save him
F
He just ran out in the street
Gm Dm
Anybody know his name?
D#
I think I recognize him
F Gm
Sure as hell paid for that mistake
[Break]
Gm A# x4
whoa
[Chorus 3]
Gm
So take me out tonight
A#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
Gm
A# millstone around my neck
A#
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
Gm
To save my life tonight
A#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
