Am7
drank away the rest of the day
Am6
wonder what my liver'd say
Fmaj7/A             Am
drink, it's all you can

Am7
blackened days with their bigger gales
     Am6
blow in your parlor to discuss the day
Fmaj7/A              Am
listen, it's all you can

    C                     G
but don't, don't sink the boat
          Dm                       Am
that you need, you build to keep afloat.
   C                      G
no don't, don't sink the boat
          Dm
that you built...

Am7
sick and tired of what to say
Am6
jumped away from the ball and chain
Fmaj7/A              Am
breath, it's all you can

Am7
rambling years of lousy luck
Am6
miss the smell of burning turf
Fmaj7/A             Am
dream, it's all you can

     C                     G
but don't, don't sink the boat
          Dm                        Am
that you built, you built to keep afloat.
    C                     G
no don't, don't sink the boat
          Dm
that you built...

Am7
singled out for who you are
Am6
takes all types to be a man
Fmaj7/A            Am
feel, it's all you can

Am7
filthy suits with bigot ears
Am6
hide behind their own worst fears
Fmaj7/A            Am
live, it's all you can
 F           Am
it's all you can
F             C     Am
it's all you can...do.

Am7
no matter where i put my head
Am6
i wake up feeling sound again
Fmaj7/A              Am
breath, it's all you can

tomorrow smells of less decay

beats the bows that bloom the fray

be thankful, it's all you can

we all built to keep afloat
