Ship To Wreck - Florence & The Machine
[intro]
(Am) (F) (Dm) (Am) x2
Am F Dm Am
Don’t touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Am F Dm Am
Dodging the great white sharks swimming in my bed
Am F Dm Am
Here comes a killer whale to sing me to sleep
Am F Dm Am
Thrashing the covers off it has me in its teeth
|[Chorus]
| C Dm Am F
|And oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said
|C Dm Am F
|I can’t help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
| C Dm Am F
|And oh my love remind me, what was it that I did
|C Dm Am F
|Did I drink too much, am I losing touch, did I build this ship to wreck
|Am F Dm Am F
|To wreck, to wreck, to wreck…
|Dm Am
|Did I build this ship to wreck
Am F Dm Am
What’s with the long face, do you want more
Am F Dm Am
Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door
Am F Dm Am
Don’t let the curtains catch you, cause you’ve been here before
Am F Dm Am
The chair is an island darling, you can’t touch the floor
|[Chorus]
[Bridge]
F G Am
And good god, under starless skies we are lost
F G
And into the breach we are tossed
Am F
And the water’s coming in fast
|[Chorus]
Am F Dm Am F
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
Dm Am
Did I build this ship to wreck
