Capsize chords by Pat Byrne

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

G
It’s half past one
G
This midday sun
C           Am
Let’s just get away
        C       Am
It’s a mid week holiday
        G
It’s a case of wine
          G
Name your place and time
C       Am
It’s not security
C         Am
It’s not stability
C            Am
I don’t have money
C            Am
No place or plan

Chorus 1:
                       G
But it’s better than a smooth ride
                        D
Better than waiting for low tide
                          C
Better than watching from ring side
D                       G
Better than taking the fall
                           G
Better than missing every sunrise
              D
Trying not to capsize
              C
Better than a compromise
D                       G
Better than nothing at all

Verse 2:

G
I’m easy and slow
G
I can be lazy I know
        C             Am
But I’m right where I want to be so
C            Am
Spare me the third degree
        G
I’m the ripple in your drink
       G
I’m a smile that’s out of sync, I’m the
C               Am
Rainbow at your funeral
C                Am
I speak in Roman numerals
C      Am
Almost inconsumable
C                 Am
My parachute’s on fire

Chorus 2:
                       G
But it’s better than a smooth ride
                        D
Better than waiting for low tide
                          C
Better than watching from ring side
D                       G
Better than taking the fall
                           G
Better than missing every sunrise
              D
Trying not to capsize
              C
Better than a compromise
D                       G
Better than nothing at all

Verse 3:
        Em          G
But you know like I know
        C             Am
I’m the bottom of the pyramid
C         Am
Socially inhibited
Em
Headstrong
                 G
But it’s a heavy load
         Am                C
When the wolves are at the door

Chorus 3:
                       G
But it’s better than a smooth ride
                        D
Better than waiting for low tide
                          C
Better than watching from ring side
D                       G
Better than taking the fall
                           G
Better than missing every sunrise
              D
Trying not to capsize
              C
Better than a compromise
D                      G
Better than nothing at all
D                      G
Better than nothing at all
D                      G
Better than nothing at all
D                      G
Better than nothing at all
                      G
Better than nothing at all
