[Verse 1]
C Em Am
There’s a storm on the horizon
G F C
Skies are blustery and grey
C Em Am G
All hands on deck
D G
Anchor’s aweigh
Am Em
The captain says full steam ahead
F G
You can trust in me
C Em Am
Now we’re hangin’ on for dear life
F G C
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
[Interlude]
C Em C G F G C
[Verse 2]
C Em Am G
His crew are all landlubbers
F C
His sons and his daughter
C Em Am G
None of them has spent time
D G
On this kind of water
Am Em
He’s never piloted a ship
F G
He does not want advice
C Em Am
As he heads into the storm
G F G C
I guess he’d rather roll the dice
[Chorus 1]
F C
When it all goes wrong
G Am
We can’t say we weren’t warned
F C
When it all goes wrong
D G
When we’re overtaken by the storm
F Em
When it all goes wrong
F G
When he drives this ship aground
C G C F
We’ll throw captain and crew overboard . . .
C G C
then turn this ship around
[Interlude]
C Em C G F G C
[Verse 3]
C Em Am
Better batten down the hatches
G F G C
As the ship of state will drift
C Em Am G
We never know exactly when and
D G
how his mood will shift
Am Em
He can’t focus on the ocean
F G
He can’t focus on the land
C Em Am
our captain’s so distracted
D G
By what’s tweeting in his hand
C Em Am G
Pirates lurking on the waves
F C
hackers in the wires
C Em Am G
loved the way he’d jab his finger
D G
when he said “You’re fired!”
Am Em
as if those words entitled him
F G
to lead this bloodless coup
C Em Am G
I look forward to the day
F G C
We say those words to you
[Chorus 2]
F C
When it all goes wrong
G Am
We can’t say we weren’t warned
F C
When it all goes wrong
D G
When we’re enveloped by the storm
F Em
When it all goes wrong
F G
When he drives this ship aground
C G C F
We’ll throw captain and crew overboard . . .
C G C
then turn this ship around
Am Em
OK we’ll throw you life preservers
F G
So you do not drown . . .
C G C F
But we’re gonna throw you overboard . . .
C G
then turn this ship around!
