Intro: Eb Gm Eb Ab Ab (x2)

Verse 1:
Eb                 Gm         Eb
 This couch carried me from Chicago
Ab
 And now it’s your bed for the week
Eb                 Gm       Eb
 What I say might ruin tomorrow
Ab
 Either way I’m not getting any sleep
Eb               Gm          Eb
 So I’m stepping out on the edge here
Ab                          Bb
 Hoping you’ll reach back out
               Cm
 An off-white ceiling
 Ebmaj7       Ab
 Looks more appealing than letting you down

Pre-chorus:
Fm
 If the water’s coming in
Gm                   Bb
 Am I gonna sink or swim?

Chorus:
Eb                        Cm
 I’m poking holes that I shouldn’t
Eb                     Ab        Bb
 Saying things that I wouldn’t
 (going overboard)
                      Cm
 No going back after this
      Ebmaj7          Ab          Bb
 I’m going down with this ship
 (going overboard)
                 Bb
 Wish I wasn’t sober
                           Cm
 ‘cause that would shut me up
       Ebmaj7              Ab
 Spillin’ words i’ve rehearsed
                       Eb
 But I’m still choking up
          Fm Eb Bb
 I’m going overboard or under

Interlude: Eb Gm Ab Eb

Verse 2:
Eb            Gm
 I thought if I could ignore it
Ab                     Bb
 I could wait out the storm
                 Cm
 The salt in my eyes
                  Ab
 The pull of the tide
                    Bb
 The crash of the shore

Pre-chorus:

 No going back after this
      Ebmaj7          Ab          Bb
 I’m going down with this ship
 (going overboard)
                 Bb
 Wish I wasn’t sober
                           Cm
 ‘cause that would shut me up
       Ebmaj7              Ab
 Spillin’ words i’ve rehearsed

 But I’m still choking up

 If it weighs me down, spit it out

 anchor up, had enough
