A E
The gutter may profess its love,
A C#m D
Then follow it with hesitation,
A C#m E D E
But there are just so many of you out there for rent
A E
A stronger girl would shake this off in flight,
A C#m D
And never give it more than a frowning hour,
A C#m E D E
But you have let your heart decide, loss has conquered you,
[Chorus 1]
D E D
You've won one too many fights,
E
Wearing many hats every time,
D E A D E
But you wont win here tonight,
[Verse 2]
A E
You've made it through the direst of straits alright,
A C#m D
Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
A C#m E D E
You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes, And I cannot lecture you,
A E
And does anything I say seem relevant at all?
A C#m D
You've been at the helm since you were just five,
A C#m E D E
While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger,
[Chorus 2]
D E D
But, you've won one too many fights,
E D
Wearing all of your clothes at the same time,
E F#m
Let the good times end tonight,
G D E
Oh girl, sailor, don't sink her, this time

[Bridge]
F#m G F#m
Just a moment or two from now,
G F#m
Not a mind will retain even a trace,
G D
Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell
E A
And how our stack of cards just fell,
[Verse 3]
A E
So settle this once and for all,
A C#m D
The light no longer shows the cracks around my door,
A C#m E D E
And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight,
[Chorus 3]
D E D
You are not some saint who's above,
E D
Giving someone a stroll through the flowers,
E F#m
You've got so much more to dream of,
G D
Oh girl, sailor, don't sink her,
