Intro:
C Em C G F G C

Verse 1:
        C            Em     Am
There’s a storm on the horizon
G         F            C
Skies are blustery and grey
C   Em     Am     G
All hands on deck
D             G
Anchor’s aweigh
            Am                     Em
The captain says full steam ahead
F                           G
You can trust in me
                     C         Em               Am
Now we’re hangin’ on for dear life
                          F                      G              C
Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Verse 2:
      C           Em        Am   G
His crew are all landlubbers
       F                        C
His sons and his daughter
C              Em         Am       G
None of them has spent time
D                            G
On this kind of water
         Am           Em
He’s never piloted a ship
            F                     G
He does not want advice
            C       Em            Am
As he heads into the storm
G                     F        G            C
I guess he’d rather roll the dice

Chorus 1:
                 F                C
When it all goes wrong
                 G                        Am
We can’t say we weren’t warned
                F               C
When it all goes wrong
                       D                   G
When we’re overtaken by the storm
                F             Em
When it all goes wrong
                    F                            G
When he drives this ship aground
                       C            G              C          F
We’ll throw captain and crew overboard . . .
           C              G          C
then turn this ship around

Verse 3:
                C        Em           Am
Better batten down the hatches
G         F            G               C
As the ship of state will drift
         C          Em     Am       G
We never know exactly when and
D                                G
how his mood will shift
                Am                Em
He can’t focus on the ocean
                 F                    G
He can’t focus on the land
         C           Em      Am
our captain’s so distracted
                     D                       G
By what’s tweeting in his hand
C           Em       Am          G
Pirates lurking on the waves
F                         C
hackers in the wires
C              Em          Am          G
loved the way he’d jab his finger
D                                    G
when he said “You’re fired!”
     Am                        Em
as if those words entitled him
      F                               G
to lead this bloodless coup
C          Em       Am        G
I look forward to the day
       F                 G             C
We say those words to you

Chorus 2:
                F              C
When it all goes wrong
                  G                         Am
We can’t say we weren’t warned
               F               C
When it all goes wrong
            D                         G
When we’re enveloped by the storm
               F             Em
When it all goes wrong
                    F                           G
When he drives this ship aground
            C         G                C          F
We’ll throw captain and crew overboard . . .
           C              G         C
then turn this ship around

  Am                         Em
OK we’ll throw you life preservers
F                        G
So you do not drown . . .
                       C         G              C        F
But we’re gonna throw you overboard . . .
            C              G
then turn this ship around!
