F C G

I'm born every day just you love you

F C G

and think of you a little bit more.

F C G

Just hoping today I won't miss you,

Em F G

but I'm thinking I will do for sure.

F C G

Whiskey's the thing I won't turn to;

F C G

Drugs are a thing that won't help.

F C G

This is all that I had to begin with

Em F G

I was as far as could be when I fell.

Am Em G

And I'm going down

F C

with this ship.

Am Em G

And I'll most likely will drown,

F C

but it's worth it

F C

It's worth it.

F C G

And if I'm a sailor, you're a captain

F C G

You steered us off course and you know

F C G

And the water's gushing is an omen;

Em F G

our love is an old weary boat.

F C G

And I'll hold your hair back if you're seasick

F C G

and I make sure you aren't too shore-safe.

F C G

Then I'm afraid I must be leaving,

Em F G

and I'm afraid that you won't relate.

Am Em G

And I'm going down

F C

with this ship.

Am Em G

And I'll most likely will drown,

F C

but it's worth it

F C

It's worth it.
