Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
E A D B
Verse 1:
E A
You can fit everything you know
D B
In a bottle for you to show
Em A
Pick your brain apart and put it in (pick your brain apart)
D
And build it again
B
With needles and pins
E A
Everything you have earned is a ship
D B
With blue waves crashing into it
Em
But nothing can touch your happy
A
thoughts anymore
(nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore)
D
With your glass ceiling, walls, and
B
floor
Pre-Chorus:
Em
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
E
Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom
D
Pulling ropes and pulling your head back
B Em
To see what is breaking the foremast
You set sail alone there is no crew
A
No one on the deck who can help you
D
This is all your own battle to win
B
This is your ship and you are the
Em
captain
Chorus:
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
C#m
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
D
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
B
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Em
Oh, captain
Oh, captain, deal
C#m D
Oh, captain deal
B
Oh, captain deal
Em
Oh woah
Verse 2:
E A
There are red spots under your eyes
D
From when you cry
B
Into the sky
E A
Ocean waters rising above your neck, mmm
D
You feel the glass
A
Start to crack
Pre-Chorus:
Em
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
A
Water's leaking through holes in the bottom
D
Flying flags of ships that have long since
E D
Sat at the floor of the sea, but in defense
Em
You set sail alone there is no crew
A
No one on the deck who can help you
Em D
This is all your own battle to win
B
This is your ship and you are the captain
Chorus:
Em
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
C#m
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
D
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
B
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Em
Oh, captain, make up your mind
C#m
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
D
'cause you're popping the cork
You get lost in your brain
B
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane
Em
Oh, captain
