[Intro] D Bm G A D Bm Em A [Verse 1]
D          Bm          G              A
If, if you choose that we will always lose

              D    Bm           Em    A
Well then I'll sail  this ship alone

    D            Bm           G           A
And if, if you decide to give him another try

               D   Bm           Em    A
Well then I'll sail  this ship alone
[Chorus]
          G                   A
Well they said if I wrote the perfect love song

D                 Bm
You would take me back

       G               Em
Well I wrote it, but I lost it

        A
And now will you take me back anyway now
[Verse 2]
D            Bm        G               A
if, if you insist that this is for the best

              D    Bm           Em    A
Well then I'll sail  this ship alone

    D          Bm         G             A
And if, if you swear that you no longer care

              D    Bm           Em    A
Well then I'll sail  this ship alone
[Bridge]
                     D    D7
I'll sail this ship alone

           G              A
Between the pain and the pleasure

                     D    D7
I'll sail this ship alone

           G               A
Amongst the sharks and the treasure

   G         A      G       A        G       A
If you would rather go your way then go your way

     A N.C.
I'll sail this ship alone
[Interlude] D Bm G A D Bm Em A [Verse 3]
D               Bm        G                A
If, if you're afraid that I won't make the grade

Well then I'll sail  this ship alone

    D           Bm      G              A
And if, if you agree to him instead of me

              D    Bm           Em    A
Well then I'll sail  this ship alone
[Chorus]
          G                   A
Well they said if I wrote the perfect letter

     D              Bm
That I would have a chance

       G                 Em
Well I wrote it, and you burned it

        A
And now do I have a chance anyway now
[Verse 4]
D          Bm         G             A
If, if you swear that you no longer care

Well then I'll sail  this ship alone
[Bridge]
                     D    D7

           G              A
Between the pain and the pleasure

I'll sail this ship alone

           G               A
Amongst the sharks and the treasure

   G         A      G       A        G       A
If you would rather go your way then go your way

     A N.C.
I'll sail this ship alone
[Interlude] D Bm G A D Bm Em A [Chorus]
          G                 A
Well they said if I burnt myself alive

     D     N.C.
That you'd come running back
