^AThe gutter may ^Eprofess its love, ^AThen follow it with ^C#mhesitati^Don,

^ABut there are just so ^C#mmany of ^Eyou out there for rent ^D ^E ^AA stronger girl would ^Eshake this off in flight,

^AAnd never give it ^C#mmore than a ^Dfrowning hour, ^ABut you have let your ^C#mheart decide, ^Eloss has conquered you,

--Chorus--

^DYou've won ^Eone too many ^Dfights, Wearing ^Emany hats every time,

^DBut you ^Ewont win here ton^Aight, ^D ^E --Verse 2-- Same chords as Verse 1 You've made it through the direst of straits alright, Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting' You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes, And I cannot lecture you,

And does anything I say seem relevant at all' You've been at the helm since you were just five, While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger, --Chorus--

^DBut, you've ^Ewon one too many ^Dfights, Wearing ^Eall of your clothes at the ^Dsame time,

Let the ^Egood times end ^F#mtonight, Oh ^Ggirl, sail her, don't ^Dsink her, this ^Etime

^F#mJust a ^Gmoment or two from ^F#mnow, Not a ^Gmind will retain even ^F#ma trace,

Of the ^Gthoughts that I struggled to ^Dtell And how ^Eour stack of cards just fell,

--Verse 3-- Same chords as Verse 1 So settle this once and for all, The light no longer shows the cracks around my door, And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight, --Chors-- Same chords as previous chorus You are not some saint who's above, Giving someone a stroll through the flowers, You've got so much more to dream of, Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her, This time, This time, This time.
