[Verse 1]
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 [Verse 2]
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
A/G A [Chorus]
                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
[Interlude] B B/A B [Verse 3]
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
B/A A [Chorus]
                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
B/A A x3
