it’s definitely not perfect but it works great on it’s own or along to the song . . . !!!!
i’ve put in tabs for the intro instead of chords because that’s how i play it . . .

B D
dearly beloved we are gathered here today ,
Am
to lament the loss of honesty ,
Em
to the art of saving face .
B D
of vanity and opacity ,
Am Em
a generation lost beneath the waves .
Gm D
loose lips sink ships ,
Am Em
and we’re all going down .
chorus :
Am E
we’re in the throes of vertigo ,
D Gm
higher is impossible .
Am
sink like a stone ,
E
let it all go ,
D G
higher is impossible .
* fill 1 *
verse 2 :
B
the oceans rise to break the bow ,
D
and i find peace within the sound ,
A Em
of water rushing in .
B
so bid farewell to all you know ,
D
take your place way down below ,
A Em
we’ll sleep beneath the waves .
Gm D
loose lips sink ships ,
Am Em
and we’re all going down .
repeat chorus
Gm D
loose lips sink ships ,
Am Em
and we’re all going down .
D Am Em
so slowly we drift down ,
Gm
and all our kings are dead now .
repeat Em , Gm , D , Am until it fades out . . .
