[Intro]
F Am F Am C D Em C D Em
[Verse 1]
F
Sailing on a sea of thoughts
Am
A strange breeze pulled me south
F
Brought me to the horizon
Am
And these words left my mouth
F
Here they call me captain
Am
Here I sail the skies
F
Without stars facing northern
Am
Unmoving my ship lies
F Am F Am
F
And with waves pulling downward
Am
My ship sinking low
F
Feel this captain dying
Am
Stars just seem to flow
F
Crashing wave awakes my senses
Am
A cry for help pulls my ear
F
Man overboard is shouted
Am
To the rescue we must stear
F Am F Am
[Chorus]
C D
Full speed ahead, he’s losing air
Em
Sinking to his death
C D
All hands on deck, hurry now
Em
We’ve got to save his neck
C D
Captain’s orders, quicker now
Em
Just do the best you can
C D
Starboard side, grab the rope
Em
We’ve got to save this man
C D Em C D Em
[Verse 2]
F
Even though we’ve all calmed down now
Am
We’re still breathing fast
F
This insanity is rising
Am
And it just seems to last
F
All eyes swarm to captain
Am
Searching for a homeward route
F
Captain seems so lost
Am
In a thought that holds him down
F
A self-mutiny is rising
Am
Within his soul
F
They’re watching captain dying
Am
None of them seem to know
F
Wave cracks against the cabin
Am
Captain falls off the rear
F
Captain overboard is shouted
Am
To the rescue we must stear
F Am F Am
[Chorus]
C D
Full speed ahead, he’s losing air
Em
Sinking to his death
C D
All hands on deck, hurry now
Em
We’ve got to save his neck
C D
Captain’s orders, quicker now
Em
Just do the best you can
C D
Starboard side, grab the rope
Em
We’ve got to save this man
