Start Jamming...
You're my little sinking ship, [G] not quite built to hold such weight
[C]
We were raised for the suburbs, [F] but we took to the waves
[C] You carry me around, from [G] little town to little town
[Am]
Never [F] knowing how much [C] I need, [Em]
never [G] asking a thing [C] of me
I found you on the doorstep, [G] but was brave to leave your room
[C]
Mine is a safe place, [F] I have not abandoned you
[C] Or that perfect nuclear [F] family [G] that I [C] left behind
[G] [C] And now I'm paying too much rent, so [G] you buy me some incense
[C] You said you were proud, when [F] I stopped smoking cigarettes
[C] And I hope that you're not [F] disappointed, [G] that I [C] started again
[G] [C] And at that awful backyard party, where [G] we stole a bottle of rat
[C]
Hopped a train, we got [F] drunk and just sang songs instead
[C] And later on the couch, you [F] told me it [G] was the best trip [C] you'd taken
[G] [C] You're my little sinking ship, not [G] quite built to hold such weight
[C] We were raised for the suburbs, [F] but we took to the waves
[C] You carry me around, from [G] little town to little town
[Am]
Never [F] knowing how much [C] I need, [F]
never [G] asking a thing [C] of me
Sorry you had to hide [G] from the bounces of my show
[C] I organised an all ages [F] one, just so you could go
[C] And I wrote this song an hour [F] before, [G] to try and make [C] you smile
[G] [C] And Liz do not look up to [G] me, I am a drunken mess
[C] You're so goddamn creative, a real [F] force to be reckoned with
[C] And I will say with all my [G] heart and soul
That I'll follow you, wherever you may roam
You [C] may roam
[G] [C]
Today's a family [G] day, so we'll spend it together
And don't tell mum and dad, but you're my favourite family member
And you [C] always were the good child, I, the one who needed [C] all of the attention
And you always take my side, [G] in battles that are mine
[C] And you say well you fucked up, [G] and I promise that I won't next time
[C] And even though, we both know I'm going to
[G] I know you'll be on my side
Oh cause you're my little sinking ship, not [G] quite built to hold such weight
[C] We were raised for the suburbs, but [F] we took to the waves
[C] And you carry me around, from [G] little town to little town
[Am] Never knowing how [C] much I need
[A] Never [F] knowing how [C] much I need
Year [F] to year, cannot, [G]
anything, [C] of [G] me
[C]
