Em
My body's covered in fat

Skin is covered in black ink

My head is a million men

My ego's beginning to shrink

The world never seemed so big

How did come to this

How did it turn into more drinking, sinking

When all that I ever wanted was less thinking

All that I ever wanted was less thinking
[Verse 2]

Everything was fine

Yet I wanted more, more, more
Em
Now I can't rewind
C B
To the way things were before
Am Bm
Living lies and a bluff
G Bm
And acting like I should

It's all out of love
G
I don't wanna scare or hurt
[Verse 3]

Burden of the Captain

He gets all the fame
Em
Everybody distracted

And attracted to a name

But as everything slips by

He must stay with his ship

Looking out for the tribe
G Bm
And missing all the trip

More, more, more
