Artist: Brand New
Tuning: Standard (E,A,D,G,B,E)
Key: A Major
[VERSES]
[F#m]1. I used to be such a burning example,
2. I used to pray like God was listening,
[A]1. I used to be so original,
2. I used to make my parents proud,
[F#m]1. I used to care, I was being careful,
2. I was the glue that kept my friends together,
[A]1. Made sure I showed it to those that I loved,
2. Now they don't talk and we don't go out,
[E]1. I used to sleep without a single stir,
2. I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed,
[D]1. 'Cause I was about my fathers work,
2. Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.
[CHORUS]
[F#m]1. Well take me out tonight,
2. Well take me out tonight,
[A]1. The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
2. The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
[F#m]1. I'm my own stone around my neck,
2. I'm my own stone around my neck,
[A]1. Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give,
2. Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
[F#m]2. Throw me that lifeline,
[A]2. This ship of fools I'm on will sink,
[F#m]2. I'm my own stone around my neck,
[A]2. Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
[BRIDGE]
[Bm]They never hit their [C#m]brakes,
There was no [D]time to see,
[E]'
He just ran out in the street,
[F#m]Does anybody know his [C#m]name?
I think I [D]recognise him,
[E]' [F#m]'
He sure as hell paid for that mistake.
Repeat Chorus version 2.
