Listen to the song to get the strumming, it's pretty simple. A great song by a great band. Intro: C Chorus C G You're my little sinking ship, not quite built to hold such weight C F We were raised for the suburbs but we took to the waves C G And you carry me around, from little town to little town Am F C Never knowing how much I need F G C Never asking a thing from me Verse C G I found you on the doorstep, it was brave to leave your room C F Mine is a safe place, I'll not abandon you C F G C Or that perfect nuclear family... that I left behind C G Now I'm paying too much rent so you buy me some incense C F You said you were proud when I stopped smoking cigarettes C F G C And I hope that you're not disappointed... that I started again C G And at that awful backyard party where we stole a bottle of red C F Hopped a train, we got drunk and just sang songs instead C F G C And later on the couch you told me it was the best trip you'd taken Chorus C G You're my little sinking ship, not quite built to hold such weight C F We were raised for the suburbs but we took to the waves C G And you carry me around, from little town to little town Am F C Never knowing how much I need F G C Never asking a thing from me Verse C G Sorry you had to hide from the bouncers at my show C F I organized an all-ages one just so you could go C F G C And I wrote this song an hour before... to try and make you smile C G And Liz, do not look up to me, I am a drunken mess C F You're so god damn creative, a real force to be reckoned with C G And I will say with all my heart and soul G That I'll follow you wherever you may roam C C Wherever you may roam Verse C G Today's the family day so we'll spend it together C F Don't tell Mum and Dad, but you're my favourite family member C F G CC You always were the good child, I... was the one who needed all the attention C G And you always take my side in battles that are mine C F And you say "Will, you fucked up", and I promise that I won't next time C G And even though we both know I'm going to, I know you'll be on my side Chorus C G You're my little sinking ship, not quite built to hold such weight C F We were raised for the suburbs but we took to the waves C G And you carry me around, from little town to little town Am F C Never knowing how much I need Am F C Never knowing how much I need you F G C That you can ask anything of me
