A/G A A/G A

One day as I was sailing on the Caribbean Sea

G A

I spied a little fishing vessel drifting aimlessly

A/G A A/G A

Her sails were torn and tattered, and her wheel was spinning free

G A

I told myself that little boat sure looks a lot like me

A/G A A/G A

As I pulled along beside her and I climbed upon her deck

G A

In the silence I could feel the hair a-rising on my neck

A/G A A/G A

And I thought as I walked through the empty quarters down below

G A

That lost abandoned vessel was the sister of my soul

D

'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide

A G A

And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink

D

Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide

E A

I won't even make a ripple when I sink

B/A B B/A B

In the emptiness my footsteps were like echoes in a cave

A B

That seemed to say there ain't no way to leave this floating grave

B/A B B/A B

And when I scrambled to the deck my ship had vanished like a dream

A B

Leaving nothing but the lonely waves to hear my silent scream

E

'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide

B A B

And each day I'm drawing closer to the brink

E

Just a speck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide

F# B

I won't even make a ripple when I sink
