GM7

[Verse 1]

This sinking

ship, all rusted

brown. It leans for

land, desperate not to

G GM7

drown. Oh how ma-

chines, will come and

go. They'll go with

days, even as they

grow. And oh my

[Chorus]

son, when you get

old, I hope your

heart is light enough for you to

float. And oh my

son, when you get

old, I hope your

heart is light enough for you to

float.

[Verse 2]

Uncork the

wine, we'll draw it

in. You cut the

line, we'll spread them

G GM7

thin. Oh how our

dream will come and

go. Most much too

fast, some far too

slow. And oh my

[Chorus]

son, when you get

old, I hope your

heart is light enough for you to

float. And oh my

son, when you get

old, I hope your

heart is light enough for you to

float.

[Bridge 1]

So write your

[Verse 3]

book, though it gets

wet, the pages

crooked, the letters

bled, oh how the

sun will come and

go, but there's just

one that's close enough to dry this

boat. And oh that

[Bridge 2]

sun, will come and

go, and when it's

gone it darkens everything we

know. And oh my

son, when you get

old, I hope your

heart's still light enough for you to

float. And oh my

son, when you are

old, I hope your

heart is light enough for you to

float. And oh my
