Am                  C   G     
Old ship, give me your hands. 
        Dm                                   Cmaj7  F 
Im the cape that came to crush and snag you on my sands. 
 Am                            C        G     
Below the ocean, and from my point of view, 
          Dm                              Cmaj7  F 
You were always drinking, and drunk well before noon, 
                     C        G    F       
And dreaming on my pillow of high tide. 
    E      F   
But Id allow you. 

Am                  C        G  
Old friend, give me back my hands. 
        Dm                                           Cmaj7  F 
Im the crutch thats missing, and you're the crippled little lamb. 
     Am                                      C        G  
Those claws will get you; those teeth will take your life, 
              Dm                      
But you wont know whats missing. 
          Cmaj7  F 
This gift aint giving.  
                        C   G    F  
This wolf aint worth the fight. 
                                       E      F 
If you get lost, If you get lost, you lose tonight. 

Instrumental: Am C   G  
  
Dm          Cmaj7  F 
This gift aint giving.  
                        C   G    F  
This wolf aint worth the fight. 
                                       E      F 
If you get lost, If you get lost, you lose tonight.
