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