[E]
I [A] got no money in my hand or my coat or my [C#m] pocket
Won't get to space [E] cause I haven't got a rocket
But [A] I've air in my lungs, eyes in my sockets
[E] And I heart the beats like [B] a tap that [A] leaks
In the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it
[C#m] Jack in a [B] box without a key to lock it
[G#] Well this coat may sink but [A] I'm not gonna rock [Em] it
Cause the sea doesn't know [C#m] my name
Yeah [G#] the boat may sink [A] but I'm not gonna rock it
[B] Cause the sea doesn't know [E] my name
Well [A] if you can't get what you love
[E] You learn to love the [B] things you've got
If [A] you can't be what you want
[E] You learn to be the things you're not
[A] If you can't get what you need
[C#m] You learn to need [B] the things that stop you [A] dreaming
[C#m] All [B] the things that stop [E] you dreaming
[A] [E]
Well [A] I got no one's word and no body's [C#m] promise
Not a lot to show [B] but this book full of sonnets
And [A] my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest
[E] And my word is true like [B] the sky is blue
[A] In the summer time when everybody gets [C#m] on it
Warm our skins [B] and get sunburned from it
[G#m] And our eyes shine bright like a [A] sky full of [B] comets
I shoot like a silver [C#m] train
[G#m] Yeah I shine bright [A] like a sky full of comets
[B] I shoot like a silver [E] train
Well [A] if you can't get what you love
[E] You learn to love the [B] things you've got
