[Intro]
Am7 Am6 Dm7 Am x2
[Verse 1]
Am7
Drank away the rest of the day
Am6
Wonder what my liver'd say
Dm7 Am
Drink, that's all you can
Am7
Blackened days with their bigger gales
Am6
blow in your parlor to discuss the day
Dm7 Am
Listen, that's all you can
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, but don't, no, don't sink the boat
Dm Am
that you built, you built to keep afloat
C G
Oh no, don't, no, don't sink the boat
Dm
that you built...
[Verse 2]
Am7
Sick and tired of what to say
Am6
No one listens anyway
Dm7 Am
Sing, that's all you can
Am7
Rambling years of lousy luck
Am6
Miss the smell of burning turf
Dm7 Am
Dream, that's all you can
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, but don't, no, don't sink the boat
Dm Am
that you built, you built to keep afloat
C G
Oh no, don't, no, don't sink the boat
Dm
that you built...
Am
that you built to keep afloat
[Interlude] (x2)

[Verse 3]
Am7
Singled out for who you are
Am6
Takes all types to judge a man
Dm7 Am
Feel, that's all you can
Am7
Filthy suits with bigot ears
Am6
hide behind their own worst fears
Dm7 Am
Live, that's all you can
F Am
It's all you can
F C Am
It's all you can...do

[Verse 4]
Am7
No matter where I put my head
Am6
I wake up feeling sound again
Dm7 Am
Breathe, that's all you can
Am7
Tomorrow smells of less decay
Am6
The flowers greet this blooming fray
Dm7 Am
Be thankful, that's all you can
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, but don't, don't sink the boat
Dm Am
that you built, you built to keep afloat
C G
Oh no, don't, no, don't sink the boat
Dm Am
that you built, you built to keep afloat
C G
Oh no, don't, oh no, don't sink the boat

oh that you built, that you built to keep afloat
