: Float

1. Am7 
drank away the rest of the day

Am6 
wonder what my liver'd say

Fmaj7/A 
drink, it's all you 
Am 
can


2. Am7 
blackened days with their bigger gales

blow Am6 
in your parlor to discuss the day

Fmaj7/A 
listen, it's all you 
Am 
can


Ref: 
butC 
 don't, don't sink the
G 
 boat

that you nDm 
eed, you build to keep af
Am 
loat.

no C 
don't, don't sink the b
G 
oat

that you bDm 
uilt…


3. Sick and tired of what to say
No one listens, anyway
Sing, that's all you can

4. Rambling years of lousy luck
You miss the smell of burning turf
Dream, that's all you can

Ref: 
Ah, but don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, that you built to keep afloat

5. Singled out for who you are
It takes all types to judge a man
Feel, that's all you can

6. Filthy suits with bigot ears
Hide behind their own worst fears
Live, that's all you can

7. No matter where I put my head
I wake up feeling sound again
Dream, it's all you can

8. Tomorrow smells of less decay
The flowers quick just bloom and fray
Be thankful, that's all you can

Ref: 
Ah, but don't, don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built, you built to keep afloat

A ripe old age, a ripe old age
I'm a ripe old age, that's what I am
I'm ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, just do it the best I can, hey

: Spoken wheel

Am 
Your passin' broke the
Em 
 silence

On that F 
dark October
G 
 day

The Am 
sun was headin' 
Em 
for the west

As it F 
did I heard you 
G 
say

Am 
set my sail for a 
Em 
gentle breeze

Now I F 
leave this world as it was 
G 
meant to be

And F 
you, did you 
G 
listen to any
C 
th
G 
ing I 
Am 
said?

Did F 
you ever 
G 
listen to 
Am 
me?


Though now it seems you'll never know
But every lad to a man must grow
Till winter comes to celebrate
Then proudly chills the bone
When at last they bury me
Into this ground you'll someday see
And you, did you listen to anything I said?
Did F 
you ever 
G 
listen to 
Am 
me?


ThougF 
h the face we wear

SometC 
imes seldom speaks

From F 
the babe that cries

To thC 
is grown man's feet

May tF 
he hand still write

And iC 
ts' heart shape keep

Till F 
our fa
Am 
thers, sons and daughters agree


Am G F 

So I will Am 
pave this 
G 
road till 
F 
glory

Sets our Am 
broken 
G 
spirit 
F 
free

From eAm 
very cross-
G 
soaked nail pours 
F 
endless rain

With tC 
ears no e
G 
ye should
Am 
 see

But thAm 
ey could fil
G 
l our highest 
F 
ocean

And thAm 
e rivers 
G 
in betwe
F 
en

With eAm 
very bl
G 
ade 
F 
that flowers must grow then drown

C 
Wi
G 
th 
E 
love our cruelest sea
