[Verse 1]
  C                     G
when will you carry me home

Dm                    F
   like the wounded star in a movie

  C                     G
when will you carry me home

Dm                       F
   take it back to the start when you knew me

C                            G
'cause when you talk to me that way

Dm                           Am
   I'll be a million miles away

C                          G
I guess it's just another day

    F
in love
[Chorus]
C                G     Dm
   We're battleships

                F
drifting in our wee river

C         G     Dm
   takin' hits

               F
sinking, it's now or never

C       G     Dm
   overboard...

         F            G        F
drowning in a sea of love and hate

    G         F
but it's too late

 G      F   C
battleship down
[Verse 2]
   C                 G
when will you figure it out

   Dm                         F
that you're not always right, little darling

   C                    G
when will you figure it out

   Dm                        F
that it's not worth the fight, little darling

   C                        G
'cause when you can't think what to say

  Dm                   Am
you go and throw it all away

 C                         G      F
I guess it's just another day in love
[Chorus]

   Dm        G
but you're too smart

   C         F
and I'm too dumb

  Dm        G
with no heart in the middle

overboard, falling into the ocean

C       G   Dm       F       G      F         G
ship to shore, drowning in a sea of love and hate

F            G
but it's too late

F            C
