Captain Were Sinking - More Tequila Less Joe

Chord diagram for E
Chord diagram for Asus2
Chord diagram for Dbm
Chord diagram for Bsus4
      The chord shapes take a little getting used to. Unfortunately there's no great video footage to
demonstrate, so I'll try to explain.

Normal E shape; move your middle finger to the 2nd fret E string
to play the F# note and mute the A string; use your index and middle for the Asus2 and use your ring
or pinky to fret the 4th stret E string for the G#. It's okay if you end up muting the A string
on the A/G# chord, it sounds pretty much the same either way.

Don't forget to tune a half-step down to play along with the record.

E - 022100
E/F# - 2x0100
Asus2 - x02200
A/G# - 402200
C#m - x46654
Bsus4 - x24400

[Intro]

E  E/F#  Asus2  A/G#  E  E/F#  Asus2 (x2)

[Verse]

          E           E/F#       Asus2  A/G#
Well I'm staring at a blank page
             E           E/F#   Asus2   A/G#
And I don't like writing anymore
     E             E/F#       Asus2     A/G#
The self appointed martyr, he will die
       E             E/F#      Asus2      A/G#
before he knows what he's even dying for
          E               E/F#           Asus2  A/G#
Well I'm drinking from my father's flask
             E               E/F#        Asus2  A/G#
And there's something burning on my lips
      E                    E/F#     Asus2  A/G#
This shit tastes just like medicine
     E               E/F#    Asus2  A/G#
but I'll take it for what it is
          C#m      E          Bsus4         Asus2
Well I've seen my future self in stranger's eyes
     C#m             E            Bsus4
It's strange knowing how you will die

[Interlude]

E  E/F#  Asus2  A/G#  E  E/F#  Asus2

[Verse]

     E          E/F#       Asus2     A/G#
I'm sick of the voices and headaches
E          E/F#              Asus2       A/G#
of forced attempts at empty conversation radiate
   E            E/F#    Asus2   A/G#
A wallet hidden under a cross
     E            E/F#        Asus2      A/G#
Similarities too forward and obvious to think much on
C#m         Bsus4      Asus2
Something's pulling me in again
    C#m          Bsus4     Asus2
And I think I'm losing my mind

[Pre-Chorus]

E            E/F#          Asus2       A/G#
Something's swimming in my bloodstream
E       E/F#               Asus2       A/G#
Forcing back the words you said to me
E            E/F#          Asus2       A/G#
Something's swimming in my bloodstream
E       E/F#               Asus2       A/G#
Forcing back the words you said to me

[Interlude]

C#m E Bsus4 Asus2 C#m E Bsus4

[Verse]

         E          E/F#       Asus2   A/G#
Now the doctor, yes, he had to notice
              E        E/F#           Asus2        A/G#
That she was all alone staring at her wedding ring
        E           E/F#       Asus2           A/G#
On the day that her son had to leave her womb
          E      E/F#             Asus2            A/G#
Like his father, he knew how he'd deal with things
       C#m          E       Bsus4            Asus2
On the day he left her womb tears filled her eyes
   C#m      E              Bsus4
Because her son refused to cry

[Chorus]

E      E/F#           Asus2   A/G#
You're swimming in my blood stream
E      E/F#           Asus2   A/G#
You're swimming in my blood stream
E      E/F#           Asus2   A/G#
You're swimming in my blood stream
E      E/F#           Asus2   A/G#  E  E/F#  Asus2  A/G#
You're swimming in my blood stream
     E     E/F#  Asus2   A/G#
I'm like you
     E     E/F#  Asus2   A/G#
I'm like you
     E     E/F#  Asus2   A/G#
I'm like you
     E     E/F#  Asus2   A/G#
I'm like you

[Outro]

E  E/F#  Asus2  A/G# (x3)

E
