[Strophe]
            G 
I’ve got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket 
Bm                       A 
Wont get to space cos I haven’t got a rocket 
         G 
But I’ve air in my lungs
 
Eyes in my sockets 
      D 
And a heart that beats 
       A 
Like a tap that leaks 
        G 
In the night when you haven’t got a plumber who can stop it 
 Bm               A 
Jack in a box without a key to lock it 
          F#m                    G 
Well this boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it 
         A                   Bm 
Cos the sea doesn’t know my name 
         F#m                   G 
Yeah the boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it 
         A                   D 
Cos the sea doesn’t know my name
[Refrain]
             G 
Well if you can’t get what you love 
    D                  A 
You learn to love the things you’ve got 
        G 
If you can’t be what you want 
     D               A 
You learn to be the things you’re not 
         G 
If you can’t get what you need 
     Bm                 A                            G  Bm

[Strophe]
               G 
Well I’ve got no ones word and no bodies promise 
 Bm                          A 
Not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets 
         G 
And my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest 
       D 
And my word is true 
          A 
Like the sky is blue 
        G 
In the summer time when everybody gets on it 
Bm                      A 
Warm our skins and get sunburnt from it 
        F#m                      G 
And our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets 
      A                Bm 
that shoot like silver trains 
          F#m                      G 
Yeah our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets 
      A                D 
that shoot like silver trains
[Refrain]
             G
