VERSE:
B D
Dearly beloved we are gathered here today,
Am
To lament the loss of honesty,
Em
To the art of saving face.
B D
Of vanity and opacity,
Am Em
A generation lost beneath the waves.
Gm D
Loose lips sink ships,
Am Em
And we're all going down.
[Refrão] Am E
We're in the throes of vertigo,
D Gm
Higher is impossible.
Am
Sink like a stone,
E
Let it all go,
D G
Higher is impossible.
FILL 1
VERSE 2:
B
The oceans rise to break the bow,
D
And I find peace within the sound,
A Em
Of water rushing in.
B
So bid farewell to all you know,
D
Take your place way down below,
A Em
We'll sleep beneath the waves.
Gm D
Loose lips sink ships,
Am Em
And we're all going down.
REPEAT CHORUS
Gm D
Loose lips sink ships,
Am Em
And we're all going down.
D Am Em
So slowly we drift down,
Gm
And all our Kings are dead now.
Repeat: Em Gm D Am
