VERSE:
 G                       Dm
Cold cold ashes on the ground

Am                          G
 Nothing lost and nothing found

   G                            Dm
Friends and loved ones falling down

Am                              G
 Can't you hear that mournful sound?

G                     Dm
Nothing left but memories

Am                              G
 Things I still can't stand to see

G                        Dm
There's an empty spot in me

Am                         G
 Where my hometown used to be
CHORUS:
 G        Dm             C
This old boat is taking water

             C                 G
It won't be long 'til it goes down

       Dm             F
Had enough to push us over

C                         Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around
G Dm Am G G Dm Am G VERSE:
G                       Dm
Neighborhoods left to decay

Am                       G
 People died or walked away

G                                 Dm
There's nowhere left for them to stay

Am                           G
 And we just look the other way
CHORUS:
 G        Dm             C
This old boat is taking water

             C                 G
It won't be long 'til it goes down

       Dm             F
Had enough to push us over

C                         Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around

G                                Dm
Waves keep pounding through the night

Am                       G
 Lost without a ray of light

G                     Dm
Going down without a fight

Am                               G
Is there still time to make it right?
CHORUS:
 G        Dm             C

It won't be long 'til it goes down

       Dm             F
Had enough to push us over

C                         Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around
