lyrics

intro = four bars of F

C F
I'm the one who doubts you, I'm the one holdin her head

C G
I'm the one who kisses you with a mouth both bitter and sad

C F
I'm the one who begged you and made you take me in
C G C
Now I'm sorry for this wretched state I'm in

F
I'm the ship that dreams of shipwrecks

C
I'm the drowned girl round your neck

Bb
I'm the ship where the captain sinks

G
the thing that he loves best

C F
The thrill of whiskey, the rip of red, that hole kicked through your wall

C G C
didn't make me feel good after all

C G Bb C
didn't make me feel good after all, after all

Bb F C
After all
