[Intro]
A C D D
A C D D7


[Verse 1]
A           C         D    D
Its not the money you make
A            C     D      D7
It’s not the promises you always break
A           C        D                            D7           A C D D
Its not the light of reason that you’ve got turned way down low

[Verse 2]
A           C         D
Its not the wife you cheated on
A           C         D           D7
Its not the mistress you chose to lay you’re love upon
A           C         D                            A C D D
Its certainly not the children that you hardly know


[Pre-chorus]
                   G              E7
It’s the fact that you can’t even feel


[Chorus]
             A       C  D
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
             A       C  D
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
            G
The ship is thinking
                    E7
Were all gonna be drinking the saltwater
                      A C D  D   A C D D
drinking the saltwater


[Verse 3]
A           C         D           D
Its not the wars you make
A           C         D           D7
Its not the peace you fake
A           C         D                    D              A C D  D
It’s not the eye you close at the back you always see the turn


[Verse 4]
A      C         D           D
Hey it ain’t the crime
A            C         D           D
It ain’t the getaway, get away, getaway
A           C         D                 D7           A C D D
It’s not the number of bridges that you violently burn


[Pre-chorus]
                   G              E7
It’s the fact that you can’t even feel


[Chorus]
             A       C  D
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
             A       C  D
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
            G
The ship is sinking
                    E7                   A C D D
Were all gonna be drinking the saltwater
                      A C D D
drinking the saltwater


[Bridge]
A F Bm D x2


[Verse 5]
A            C     D      D7
It’s not the government
A            C        D      D
It’s not the evil we represent
A            C      D                   D7                      A C D D
It’s not the way we shake our heads and say “What more can we do?”


[Verse 6]
A            C       D      D
It’s not the hope we killed
A            C       D      D7
It ain’t the holes we filled
A               C      D                               D                                        A C D D
It certainly ain’t the trees or the leaves that pretty soon we are gonna have to stick on with glue


[Pre-chorus]
                   G              E7
It’s the fact that we can’t even feel


[Chorus]
             A       C  D
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
             A       C  D
The ship is sinking, oh yeah
            G
The ship is thinking
                    E7                  A C D D
Were all gonna be drinking the saltwater
                      A C D D
drinking the saltwater
                      A C D D
drinking the saltwater
                      A C D D
drinking the saltwater


[Outro]
              D C E A
The ship is sinking
