[Intro] Dm Cadd9 F Bb Dm Cadd9 Bb A7b13 A7 A7b13 A7 Dm [Verse 1]
Gm
   Big boat caught in my throat

             Dm
It's the deck hand hitting the wrong notes

Gm                               Dm
   Came to with a pain in my gut again

  Gm
I cut it open wide, took out a box

  Dm                        A7           Dm
Inside the box there was a beat keeping time
[Verse 2]
Gm
   Is it a crime to pass the blame

   Dm
If every time the punishment is the same?

Gm
Life is a loose tooth leaving your mouth

   Dm
So get it out get it out

A7
Dig that ditch, ditch that dirt

            Dm
It's just a body now
[Chorus]
F               Gm7
  Pick me up so I can fall back down again

  C7                 F
Decending into vertigo

                        Gm7
If it's a crime they'll hang me every time

           C7
I tried to offer up a reason why

  F                  Gm7
I tried, my dear, to set things straight

                  C7                              F   Gm7 C7 D
I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime
[Verse 3]
Gm
   I just missed a slap on the wrist

  Dm
A key witness to the stand

Gm                                      Dm
   But the jury's out creeping about & I am a guilty man

         A7                    Dm
And the cyst is growing into this
[Verse 4]
Gm
   So I drowned in the boat I choked down

        Dm
And the captain remained proud

Gm                                          Dm
   Looked down, seeing the ground getting closer to me

              A7                      Dm
And now the ground is coming up my sleeves
[Chorus]
F               Gm7
  Pick me up so I can fall back down again

  C7                 F
Decending into vertigo

                        Gm7
If it's a crime they'll hang me every time

           C7
I tried to offer up a reason why

  F                  Gm7
I tried, my dear, to set things straight

                  C7                              F   Gm7 C7 D
I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime

Dm          Bb                 F        C  A7
If it's a crime, they'll hang me every time

    Dm                   Bb
I tried to set things straight

            F          C           A7
I fear that I was too late to be cleared of the crime
