Tom: Am
Am
Oh, you tore my fences down
Dm
Bulldozered into my town
F G
Promises of changes within reach
Am
Showed me views I've never seen
Dm
Never grasped, not even dreamed
F G
(What I had grew paler?) day by day
[Chorus]
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it
[Verse 2]
Am
Pictures of an other place
Dm
Prospects I have never faced
F G
Everything you show me seems to glow
Am
And below your feet, behold
Dm
The street you walk is paved with gold
F G
And what's in your way you walk right through
Am
But shine with me is all you do
Dm
And when I shine I shine your shoes
F G
Would this be your take on give and take?
Am
And behind the flashy scene
Dm
I recognize the signs of dream
F G
So I ring, I ring, I ring, I ring the bell
[Chorus]
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it
[Instrumental]
Am Dm F G x 4
[Verse 3]
Am
Oh you're great, I can't refuse
Dm
I'm saying 'Thank you' when abused
F G
And the blows I take them as your gifts
Am
But treasures can't be found this way
Dm
Love is made of work not play
F G
But you've never been lonely so you're never gonna realize
[Chorus]
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I don't wanna be the captain of your sinking ship
Am Dm
No, no
F G
I'll be gone too if you're gonna run from it
