[Verse 1]
A#m
I used to be such a burning example
C#
I used to be so original
A#m
I used to care, I was being cared for
C#
Made sure I showed it to those that I love
[Pre-Chorus]
G#
I used to sleep without a single stir
F#
'Cause I was about my father's work
[Chorus 1]
A#m
Well take me out tonight
C#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A#m
C# millstone around my neck
C#
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
A#m C#
[Verse 2]
A#m
I used to pray like God was listening
C#
I used to make my parents proud
A#m
I was the glue that kept my friends together
C#
Now they don't talk and we don't go out
[Pre-Chorus]
G#
I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed
F#
Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it
A#m C#
[Chorus 2]
A#m
Well take me out tonight
C#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A#m
C# millstone around my neck
C#
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
A#m
Throw me that lifeline
C#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A#m
C# millstone around my neck
C#
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

D#m Fm
Never hit the brakes
F#
There's no time to save him
G#
He just ran out in the street
A#m Fm
Anybody know his name?
F#
I think I recognize him
G# A#m
Sure as hell paid for that mistake
[Break]
A#m C# x4
whoa
[Chorus 3]
A#m
So take me out tonight
C#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A#m
C# millstone around my neck

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
A#m
To save my life tonight
C#
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A#m
C# millstone around my neck
C#
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
