[Fm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ They said it was just like Papa said,
[Bb] the map shouldn't give [F] me a map.
_ Just another anniversary,
and the folks around the [C] Sand King
_ [Bb] [F] went to get their damn [Bb] repair before they gave the shit
in my last [F] month. _ _
[Bb] They said, [F] dang, that's a [C] big [F] mess.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] They said,
getting out on them high [Bb] seas felt just like [F] being in a boat. _
That first port of call in town
felt like a father walking [C] a nine-footer.
[Gm] They [F] said, decoys like boomboxes
waiting [Bb] on the hangar flex [F] in that boat.
_ [Bb] They said, it was like [F] sailing a ferry
to [C] find out if we [F] were bad dreams.
[Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ They said, they didn't understand nothing
until [Eb] we opened [Bb] our socket at the [F] bus
and we closed the door behind the machine
and we shook it around and it was a rock [C] and roll.
_ _ [F] I'm only two times more hand-cranked than a [Bb] single port of call [F] in town.
[Bb] Sitting there, feeling [F] the cold [C] and worried
from the inside of [F] the box.
[Bb] I've seen stories,
never [F] heard them true.
_ I might seem a little bit far-fetched,
but I'm [C] not like you.
[Bb] Been feeling me for the first time,
forgot [F] the salt running through my veins.
I got the speed of the slow,
[C] and the sail [F] right through.
_ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Fm] Sometimes I race in the ship on port,
[Bb] the rising gets [Fm] so dangerous.
_ [F] Maybe goodbye to the brand new gold now
that all the sails are up.
[C] _ [Fm] And if you get sick,
and [Bb] you can't make it,
sit down and lay down.
_ [F] Sitting there, feeling the cold and worried
from [Bb] the _ _ _ [F] inside of the box.
I might seem a little [C] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ bit far-fetched,
[C] but I'm not _ _ [F] _ _ _ like you.
