C C F F x2

[Verse 1]
C               C                 F                C
    I spent my life drifting to things that fall apart
C               C                 F                C
               As soon as it gets hard
G                   G                    Am        F
We live without leaders, but now there's nobody to steer
C                    G            Am               F
       Captains go down with the ship, my friend,     but there's no captains here

[Chorus]
(starts on "here")

[Verse 2]
C                 C               F               C
     There's no petition we can sign to end poverty
C                 C                   F             C
         Or to make "no" a word with teeth               I know there's
G               G             Am               F
not enough windows on this planet to break us free
C              G            Am               F
     But maybe one will be just enough          for some dignity

(Stop palm muting here)

[Chorus]
(starts on "..ty")

[Verse 3]
C               C               F                   C
    Just do the dirt and walk away and don't say shit
C               C                   F               C
          My momma didn't raise no snitch
     G        G                   Am              F
If anybody asks, well then I've never heard your name
C         G             Am            F
     No rest for the wicked till         we've crossed the state

[Chorus]
(starts on "state")

x2

[Bridge]
G           G            F             F
And common decency may       lead us through a prison
Am          Am                   G          G
cell  Basic goodness take us to hell
F              F                G                    G
But since we'll all return to dirt let's bring some stories for the worms

[Chorus]
(starts on "worms")

[Verse 4]
C                 C              F               C
    We don't know when but the days will come again
C                 C                  F            C
     That their courts can't hold us in
       G                   G            C           F
We'll stand our ground no matter how many police appear
C                G             Am                F
    Captains go down with the ship, my friend,      and we're all captains here

[Chorus]

[Outro]
(single strums)
C         G          Am      F
    And just for a moment,        we'll all be captains then
