intro : Em

Em
i got a fresh tattoo of a broken heart
you’d think i’d learn by now but i ain’t that smart
D Em
i got a pocket full of nothing , head full of lukewarm beer
Em Bm
i just wanted to make myself feel good
D A
feel like i’ve been understood
G A D/F# Em
i was wrong , i’ve been wrong three times this year

Em
i pushed off from shore in this leaky boat
with my only friend , a bottle of whiskey in my coat
D Em
i was going to drown my sorrows , discuss my attitude
Em Bm
i lay down on my back , i started to curse
D A
insulted every planet in the universe
G A Em
hey jupiter , if you’re listening , i didn’t mean to be that rude

D
hey la , la , la , hey la , la , la , hey la , la , la ,
Em
how hard can it be?
D
hey la , la , la , hey la , la , la , hey la , la , la ,
Em
how hard can it be?
let me tell you now ,
G A D/F# Em
i just ran out of whiskey and i’m stranded out at sea

Em
now as the light begins to fade the sun disappears
i see a siren singing in a sea of tears
D Em
i know it’s you , i can tell by your hair
Em Bm
and my pulse begins to quicken as i row through the tide
D A
i want to lay my head down at your side
G A D/F# Em
then you slip into the sea , you’re gone , that ain’t fair

Em
the sea was as black as a pirate’s soul
a black velvet bag , a big dark hole
D Em
just reflections of the mocking moon above
Em Bm
then a shooting star shot across the skies
D A
it was then i began to realize
G A Em
i would give it all away if i could have your love

( chorus )

Em
now i pulled myself together , had a little chat
with my empty bottle and this little cat
D Em
he’d been hiding , he’d been there for a while
Em Bm
well i told him how i missed you , how you made me feel
D A
and even though that cat wasn’t real
G A D/F# Em
it cheered me up and it made me smile

Em
i stood up in that boat and i laughed till i cried
i danced a little two – step with my pride
D Em
then i thought about jumping in again , i was so alone
Em Bm
well you know i couldn’t do it cause i’m standing here
D A
it may have been the liquor , it may have been the fear
G A Em
besides how would that cat have got back home?

( chorus x 2 )
