Intro: Em A D B

Verse 1:
Em                         A
You can fit everything you know
     D                 B
In a bottle for you to show
Em                                  A
Pick your brain apart and put it in (pick your brain apart)
    D
And build it again
     B
With needles and pins

Em                              A
Everything you have earned is a ship
     D                        B
With blue waves crashing into it
    Em                                    A
But nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore

(nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore)
          D                         B
With your glass ceiling, walls, and floor

Pre-chorus:
Em
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
A
Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom
D
Pulling ropes and pulling your head back
B
To see what is breaking the foremast

Em
You set sail alone there is no crew
A
No one on the deck who can help you
D
This is all your own battle to win
B
This is your ship and you are the captain

Chorus:
Em
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
A
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
D
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
B
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think

Em
Oh, captain
             A
Oh, captain, deal
            D
Oh, captain deal
            B
Oh, captain deal
      G
Oh woah

Verse 2:
Em                             A
There are red spots under your eyes
     D
From when you cry
  B
Into the sky
Em                             A
Ocean waters rising above your neck, mmm
    D
You feel the glass
B
Start to crack

Pre-chorus:
Em
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
A
Water’s leaking through holes in the bottom
D
Flying flags of ships that have long since
B
Sat at the floor of the sea but in defense

Em
You set sail alone there is no crew
A
No one on the deck who can help you
D
This is all your own battle to win
B
This is your ship and you are the captain

Chorus:
Em
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
A
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
D
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
B
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think

Em
Oh, captain, make up your mind
           A
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
              D
'cause you're popping the cork
        D
You get lost in your brain
        B
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane

Em
Oh, captain
             A
Oh, captain, deal
            D
Oh, captain deal
            B
Oh, captain deal
      G
Oh woah

Bridge:
Em
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
A
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
D           B
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Em
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
A
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
D           B
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Chorus:
Em
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
A
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
D
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
B
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think

Em
Oh, captain, make up your mind
           A
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
              D
'cause you're popping the cork
        D
You get lost in your brain
        B
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane

Em
Oh, captain
             A
Oh, captain, deal
            D
Oh, captain deal
            B
Oh, captain deal
      G
Oh woah
