Intro 
Am     G      Dm    Am    
riff   C   G 

verse 1 
riff                                                                                
Well they said there was nothing to worry about 
                                   C       G 
And they said there was no reason to shout 
riff 
But I saw the bulkheads cracking 
                      C       G 
And for us there's no way out 

riff 
When we started on our journey 
                       C       G 
No one ever could have foreseen 
riff 
Our desolate and lonely ending 
                          C       G 
All I've got is helpless feeling 
F                               G 
But it doesn't take a genius to see 


          Am         G          Dm        Am 
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole   in the ship 
            C       G         Am 
And there's nothing we can do 
    C                G          Am 
Our worst fears have now come true 
   C             G            Am 
A few of us are struggling desperately 
              C            G        Am 
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. Humanity 
C            C/B   Am    G 
It's time to bail 
                       Am   riff  C  G 
but I think it's too late  


verse 2 
riff 
All my cohorts think I'm crackers 
                       C       G 
They've embroiled the local matters 
riff 
And despite obvious warning 
                       C       G 
They won't heed my futile chatter 

F                                G 
But there's something they outta know 


          Am         G          Dm        Am 
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole   in the ship 
    C       G      Am 
The end is oh so near 
      C              G         Am 
The others show no interest or fear 
      C       G             Am 
Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy 
         C                    G         Am 
Yeah nothing could patch the growing vacuity 
C            C/B   Am    G 
It's time to bail,  
                       Am 
but I think it's too late 



Bridge 
Dm             Am                 Dm                             Am                C    
Is it possible we have a social disease that makes us close our eyes in dangerous times 
G                    Am 
But I'm joining in nicely? 
Dm            Am                    Dm             Am                 C    
Or are we too aware and simply too scared to accept destiny, our mortality  
G        E7  
Our mortality, yeah 


          Am        G          Dm        Am 
There's a hooooooooooooooooooooole   in the ship 
C       G     Am 
And there's nothing we can do 
C       G     Am 
Our worst fears have now come true 
C       G     Am 
A few of us are struggling desperately 
C       G     Am 
To shoot the albatross of H.M.S. Humanity 
C       G     Am 
Our nature overwhelms our buoyancy  
C       G     Am 
And nothing could patch the growing vacuity 
C            C/B   Am  G 
It's time to bail,  
                      Am 
but I think it's too late 
 C            C/B   Am  G                                   Am    riff  C  G 
It's time to bail, (It's time to bail) but I think it's too late
