[Strophe]
C                 F              C                F 
I don't know you, but I want you all the more for that 
C                         F               C             F 
Words fall through me and always fool me, and I can't react
[Pre-Refrain]
Am         G      F        G                 Am         G               F 
Games that never amount to more than they're meant will play themselves out
[Refrain]
C                 F                 Am                     F 
Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time 
C                  F                 Am                     F 
Raise your hopeful voice, you had the choice, you've made it now
[Strophe]
C               F               C              F 
Falling slowly, eyes that know me, and I can't go back 
C                  F             C               F 
Moods that take me and erase me, and I'm painted black
[Pre-Refrain]
Am       G         F         G               Am         G             F 
You have suffered enough and warred with yourself, it's time that you won
[Refrain]
C                 F                 Am                    F 
Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time 
C                  F                  Am                     F 
Raise your hopeful voice, you had the choice, you've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time 
C                  F                  Am                     F 
Raise your hopeful voice, you had the choice, you've made it now 
C              F             Am             F 
Falling slowly sing your melody, I'll sing along
