C               F
I dont know you but I want you

C           F
All the more for that

C                     F
Words fall through me and always fool me

C          F
And I cant react



Am          G        F       G             Am
Games that never amount to more than their worth

    G               F
Will play themselves out


(Chorus)

C                Fadd9                 Am
Take this sinking boat and point it home

            Fadd9    F
We've still got time

C                 Fadd9                Am
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice

Fadd9 F
You've made it known



C               F
Falling slowly, eyes that know me

C             F
And I cant go back

C                  F
Moods that take me and erase me

C            F
And i'm painted black



Am         G        F         G          Am
You have suffered enough and warred with yourself

G                  F
It's time that you won

(Chorus)

(instrumental)
Am  G  F  G  Am  G  F

1, 2, 3, 4....


C                 Fadd9                 Am
Take this sinking boat and point it home

Fadd9 F
We've still got time

C                  Fadd9                Am
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice

Fadd9 F
You've made it now

C               Fadd9           Am
Falling slowly, sing your melody

Fadd9 F
I'll sing it loud


C Fadd9 Am F

C Fadd9 Am Fadd9 F
