Intro AmGDmAm
riff CGverse 1
riff
Well they said there was nothing to worry about
CG
And they said there was no reason to shout
riff
But I saw the bulkheads cracking
CG
And for us there's no way out
riff
When we started on our journey
CG
No one ever could have foreseen
riff
Our desolate and lonely ending
CG
All I've got is helpless feeling
FG
But it doesn't take a genius to see
AmGDmAm
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole in the ship
CGAm
And there's nothing we can do
CGAm
Our worst fears have now come true
CGAm
A few of us are struggling desperately
CGAm
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. Humanity
CC/BAmG
It's time to bail
Am riff CG
but I think it's too late
verse 2
riff
All my cohorts think I'm crackers
CG
They've embroiled the local matters
riff
And despite obvious warning
CG
They won't heed my futile chatter
FG
But there's something they outta know
AmGDmAm
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole in the ship
CGAm
The end is oh so near
CGAm
The others show no interest or fear
CGAm
Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy
CGAm
Yeah nothing could patch the growing vacuity
CC/BAmG
It's time to bail,
Am
but I think it's too late
Bridge DmAmDmAmC
Is it possible we have a social disease that makes us close our eyes in dangerous times
GAm
But I'm joining in nicely?
DmAmDmAmC
Or are we too aware and simply too scared to accept destiny, our mortality
GE7
Our mortality, yeah
AmGDmAm
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole in the ship
CGAm
And there's nothing we can do
CGAm
Our worst fears have now come true
CGAm
A few of us are struggling desperately
CGAm
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. Humanity

CC/BAmG
It's time to bail,
