Intro: G  Em  Am

  G                        Em  Am
I heard you've never been sober
        G                 Em  Am
and the haze is only the start
 G                    Em    Am
Fish dip brought in a basket
    G               Em   Am
A position I cannot watch

G             Em        D/F#
Once you take what you like,
G                        Em        D/F#
raise your shoulders and shut your eyes
G            Em      F#m
I will stand close enough,
G                    Em       D/F#  G    Em
making sure that the flame is not alive

       D/F#   G      Em
So you recognize
       D/F#   G      Em
It's a lullaby
         D/F#     G     Em  D/F#
Won't it shut you up?

  G                       Em   Am
I heard you've never been certain
       G                    Em  Am
of the days spent breaking the law
    G                 Em    Am
You keep 'em all in a basket
    G               Em   Am    G
A decision I cannot watch

G             Em       D/F#
Once you take what you like,
G                        Em        F#m
raise your shoulders and shut your eyes
G             Em     D/F#
I will stand close enough,
G                     Em      D/F#    G     Em
making sure that the flame is not alive

       D/F#  G     Em
So you recognize
       D/F#   G     Em
It's a lullaby
         D/F#     G    Em D/F#
Won't it shut you up?

      Am
If it moves out
C
on it's on
Em             D
I should not delay

      Am
If it comes down
    C
to staying strong
   Em              D
or rushing for the brakes

D
Well, the decision's come

Up into the river
                      G    Em  F#m
Down into the river's arms

        G       Em  D/F#    G   Em D/F#
Cause I can go on
      G        Em   D/F#    G   Em D/F#
Yes I can go on
