[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
