Send a Boat Lyrics

Em C G G/f# Em D G
Pictures on the wall, bottle in her hand,
Children never call, she misses her old man.
Rain on the window, quite as a tear
D C G G/f#
And if you never felt 'em, never know they're here.
Em C G G/f#
- Someone's cryin' in the hall.
Good Lord, help us all
While we try to stay afloat.
If you would, Lord, send a boat. -
Holes in the wall, bottle by his bed.
Holes in his past, empty as his head.
He's younger when he dreams, he's older than his years
D C G G/f#
And if he never wakes up, he'll know why he's here.
Em C G G/f#
- Someone's cryin' in the hall.
Good Lord, help us all
While we try to stay afloat.
If you would, Lord, send a boat. -
G G/f# Em C G G/f# Em C D Em C G C Em D G
The writing's on the wall, there's a bruise on his face.
Daddy's come and go, momma's on a date.
He's just cold and hungry, playin' ain't no fun
D C G G/f#
And if he ever grows up, he'll get him a gun.
Em C G G/f#
- Someone's cryin' in the hall.
Good Lord, help us all
While we try to stay afloat.
If you would, Lord, send a boat.
If you would, Lord, send a boat.
