at [G5]all.[A5][G5][A5][Am][A5][G5][G#5][A5][D5]
I've been talk[D]ing in my [D5]sleep[C#],
Reciting [G#]telep[A5]romp[Am]ted anthems.
A marionette strung [A5]tight [Am]to[G#5]
[G5]the [A5]ex ec[G5]utives up[A5]stair s[Am].[A5][D]

[Verse 2]
I almost had myself [C#]convinced that [C#m]I
[A5]meant everything [Am]I said.
What a shame.
[A5]Oh capta[Am]in, my captain,
You've been drinking.

[Verse 3]
What happened? I've been [Am]slurring
my cadences
and blacking out when I stand.
I [A5]know [Am]about your son,
Who never did return from the war.
[A5]But ther[G5]e was pois[Am]on in[G#5] that[A5]

[Verse 6]
[D5][C#]
This is all [A5]some [Am]elaborate scheme and
it will be cleared [A5]up[Am]
[A5]When the [C#]gov e[A5]rnor beckons for m[Am]e.
He'll clear [A5]my name.[Am][A5][G#][A5][Am]
It appears that the inmates have [A5]overrun
[Am]the asylum.[A5]

[Verse 7]
[A5]
[Am]There's a madman at the [A5]wheel.[A][D]
We are not even re[C#]motely capable of
keep[A]ing [Am]our heads about us.
We've abandoned all
semblance of pres[D]ence.

[Verse 8]
Dead bolted, buckled in.
[C#]Keeping our word to the sinking [A]ship[Am].
Let the rats orchestrate the new mutiny,
[Am]I'll met you overboard.
