Verse 1:
Am               F              Dm                Am
Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Am           F                 Dm                Am
Dredging the Great White Sharks, swimming in the bed
Am               F            Dm            Am
And here comes a Killer Whale, to sing me to sleep
Am             F         Dm                Am
Thrashing the covers off, it has me by it's teeth
 
Pre-Chorus:
     C      Dm             Am                  F
And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said?
C                   Dm                   Am          F
I can't help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
     C      Dm             Am                  F
And, ah, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
      C                    Dm
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
      Am              F
Did I build a ship to wreck?
 
Chorus:
   Am   F    Dm    Am  Am   F
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
      Dm                 Am
Did I build this ship to wreck?
 
Verse 2:
Am               F        Dm           Am
What's with the long face? Do you want more?
Am           F             Dm                 Am
Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door
Am                F             Dm                          Am
And don't let the curtain catch you, cause you've been here before
Am               F             Dm                    Am
The chair is an island, darling, you can't touch the floor
 
Pre-Chorus:
     C      Dm             Am                  F

C                   Dm                   Am          F
I can't help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
     C      Dm             Am                  F
And, ah, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
      C                    Dm
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
      Am              F
Did I build a ship to wreck?
 
Chorus:
   Am   F    Dm    Am  Am   F
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
      Dm                 Am
Did I build this ship to wreck?

Bridge:
 
         F          G
And Good God, under starless skies
       Am        F                      F
We are lost, and into the breach we got tossed
        G                Am
And the water's coming in fast
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
 
     C      Dm             Am                  F
And, oh, my love remind me, what was it that I said?
C                   Dm                   Am          F
I can't help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
     C      Dm             Am                  F
And, ah, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
      C                    Dm
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch?
      Am              F
Did I build a ship to wreck?

Chorus:
   Am   F    Dm    Am  Am   F
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
      Dm                 Am
Did I build this ship to wreck?

 
   Am   F    Dm    Am  Am   F
To wreck, to wreck, to wreck
      Dm                 Am
Did I build this ship to wreck?
