Ship In A Bottle

Tom: Em

Em A D B


[Verse 1]
 Em                         A
You can fit everything you know
        D                B
In a bottle for you to show
  Em                              A
Pick your brain apart and put it in (pick your brain apart)
               D
And build it again
 B
With needles and pins
    Em                  A
Everything you have earned is a ship
             D                 B
With blue waves crashing into it
       Em
But nothing can touch your happy
            A
thoughts anymore

(nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore)
             D
With your glass ceiling, walls, and
  B
floor


[Pre-Chorus]
   Em
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
  A
Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom
    D
Pulling ropes and pulling your head back
         B                     Em
To see what is breaking the foremast

You set sail alone there is no crew
   A
No one on the deck who can help you
                                D
This is all your own battle to win
  B
This is your ship and you are the
   Em
captain


[Chorus]

Oh, captain, let's make a deal
            A
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
D
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
             B
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
 Em
Oh, captain

Oh, captain, deal
  A         D
Oh, captain deal
              B
Oh, captain deal
   Em
Oh woah


[Verse 2]
 Em                             A
There are red spots under your eyes
  D
From when you cry
      B
Into the sky
  Em                             A
Ocean waters rising above your neck, mmm
      D
You feel the glass
      B
Start to crack


[Pre-Chorus]
    Em
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
   A
Water's leaking through holes in the bottom
  D
Flying flags of ships that have long since
 B                          
Sat at the floor of the sea, but in defense
 Em
You set sail alone there is no crew
               A
No one on the deck who can help you
        D              
This is all your own battle to win
 B
This is your ship and you are the captain


[Chorus]
 Em
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
            A
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
D
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
        B
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
 Em
Oh, captain, make up your mind
             A
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
                           D
'cause you're popping the cork

You get lost in your brain
         B
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane
 Em
Oh, captain
                A
Oh, captain, deal
       D
Oh, captain deal
        B
Oh, captain deal
   Em
Oh woah


[Bridge]
Em            A
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
D
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
 B
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Em
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
A
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
 B            D
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh


[Chorus]
 Em
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
           A
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
 D
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
        B
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
 Em
Oh, captain, make up your mind
            A
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
                           D
'cause you're popping the cork

You get lost in your brain
          B
And you lose touch with all the things
                     Em
that made you feel sane

Oh, captain
               A
Oh, captain, deal
              D
Oh, captain deal
              B
Oh, captain deal
  Em
Oh woah
  Em
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
 A            D
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
              B      
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
