O Captain

Verse 1:
E                            G#
How can I get any better this late at night?
C#m                             B
I laugh all my cares away, a captain driftin’ toward daylight
E                             G#
You got me feeling giddy, sand between my toes
C#m                             B
We’ll just keep wandering looking for what, God only knows

Chorus 1:
A                       E
A cadillac’s on fire three blocks away
C#m                                B                     E
I’m filled up with desire and I can’t seem to make it go away

Verse 2:
E                                       G#
Washed up on this desert island, a suitcase in my hand
C#m                                     B
Digging holes to bury treasure, rumbling through the ruined sand
E                                    G#
We’re just two old Ex-Believers looking for a sign
C#m                                             B
I think we’re bastards and blasphemers, justifying our feeble minds

Chorus 2:
A                               E
You know my mind’s on fire so don’t look away
C#m                            B                          E
I’m filled up with desire and only you can make me feel okay

Verse 3:
E                                       G#
I’m sending out an S.O.S. baby, someone save my life
C#m                                     B
Your lovings got me going crazy, throwin my hands up to the sky
E                                    G#
The worst part is I loved you dearly so let me give you some advice
C#m                                             B
The next stray ship that crosses your path,  maybe you ought to think twice

Chorus 3:
A                                       E
Cos when a lady’s mind’s on fire, you got a choice to make
C#m                             B                               E
Or she’ll lose all her desire, is that something you’re willing to forsake
