Millstone

[F#m]1. I used to be such a burning example,
2. I used to pray like God was listening,

[A]1. I used to be so original,
2. I used to make my parents proud,

[F#m]1. I used to care, I was being careful,
2. I was the glue that kept my friends together,

[A]1. Made sure I showed it to those that I loved,
2. Now they don't talk and we don't go out,

[E]1. I used to sleep without a single stir,
2. I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed,

[D]1. 'Cause I was about my fathers work,
2. Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.

[F#m]1. Well take me out tonight,
2. Well take me out tonight,

[A]1. The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
2. The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

[F#m]1. I'm my own stone around my neck,
2. I'm my own stone around my neck,

[A]1. Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give,
2. Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

[F#m]2. Throw me that lifeline,

[A]2. This ship of fools I'm on will sink,

[F#m]2. I'm my own stone around my neck,

[A]2. Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

   [Bm]They never hit their [C#m]brakes,

   There was no [D]time to see,

   He just r[E]an out in the street,

   [F#m]Does anybody know his [C#m]name?
   I think I [D]recognise him,
   He sure as hell p[E]aid for that mist[F#m]ake.
