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