VERSE:
BDearly beloved we are gDathered here today,
To lamAment the loss of honesty,
To the arEmt of saving face.

And weAm're all going dowEmn.

Sink lAmike a stone,
Let Eit all go,
DHigher is impossibleG.
VERSE 2:
The oBceans rise to break the bow,
And I Dfind peace within the sound,
Of Awater rushing iEmn.
So bBid farewell to all you know,
DTake your place way down below,
We'll Asleep beneath the wEmaves.
GmLoose lips sDink ships,
And weAm're all going dowEmn.
REPEAT CHORUS
GmLoose lips sDink ships,
And weAm're all going dowEmn.
DSo slowly we drAmift down,Em  
And all our Kings are dGmead now.

Dearly beloved we are gathered here today,

To lament the loss of honesty,

To the art of saving face.

Of vanity and opacity,

Am Em

A generation lost beneath the waves.

Gm D

Loose lips sink ships,

Am Em

And we're all going down.

Am E

We're in the throes of vertigo,

Higher is impossible.

Sink like a stone,

Let it all go,

D G

Higher is impossible.

VERSE 2:

The oceans rise to break the bow,

And I find peace within the sound,

A Em

Of water rushing in.

So bid farewell to all you know,

Take your place way down below,

A Em

We'll sleep beneath the waves.

Gm D

Loose lips sink ships,

Am Em

And we're all going down.

REPEAT CHORUS

Gm D

Loose lips sink ships,

Am Em

And we're all going down.

So slowly we drift down,

And all our Kings are dead now.
