MISSED THE BOAT CHORDS
[Intro] D G D G D G D G ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] D While we're on the subject D Could we change the subject now G I was knocking on your ear's door but you were always out D Looking towards the future D We were begging for the past G Well we know we had the good things G But those never seemed to last D G Oh please just last ■ D Everyone's unhappy D Everyone's ashamed G Well we all just got caught looking G At somebody else's page D Well nothing ever went D Quite exactly as we planned G Our ideas held no water D But we used them like a dam ■ [Chorus] A G Oh and we carried it all so well G As if we got a new position D F#m7 G Oh and I laugh all the way to hell G Saying Yes this is a fine promotion D F#m7 A G Oh and I laugh all the way to hell ■ [Verse] D Of course everyone goes crazy D Over such and such and such G We made ourselves a pillar G We just used it as a crutch D We were certainly uncertain D At least I'm pretty sure I am G Well we didn't need the water D But we just built that good God damn [Chorus] F#m7 A G Oh and I know this of myself G I assume as much for other people D F#m7 G Oh and I know this of myself G We've listened more to life's endgong D A G Than the sound of life's sweet bells [Inst] D F#m7 G F#7 D A ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ F#m7 G F#sus4 F#m7 ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] A Was it ever worth it A Was there all that much to gain A Well we knew we missed the boat G#7 And we'd already missed the plane D We didn't read the invite D We just dance at our wake G All our favorites were playing G So we could shake shake shake shake shake D Tiny curtain's open and we heard the tiny clap of little hands G Gmaj7 G A tiny man would tell a little joke and get a tiny laugh from all the folks D Sitting drifting around in bubbles and thinking it was us that carried them G Gmaj7 G D When we finally got it figured out that we had truly missed the boat ■ [Chorus] F#m7 G Oh and we carried it all so well G As if we got a new position D F#m7 G Oh and we owned all the tools ourselves Em7 But not the skills to make a shelf with D F#m7 G Oh what useless tools ourselves [Outro] D Dsus4 D Gmaj7 G D Dsus4 D ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ G Gmaj7 G D ■ ■ ■ ■ [End]
