[Verse]
B B
I found a book in a washed up ship
B C#m F#
Reading the notes the captain stitched
E B E F#
Inside this suit of dust I wait
G#m E B B F# F# B
As the waves carry me back to shore
[Riff]
[Verse]
B B
My neighbor Miss Lorraine commands
B C#m F#
The town's attention when she wants
E B E F# G#m
She has a way of making everyone she meets
E B B F# F# B
Feel lost and lone with no direction home
[Bridge]
E B G#m
There's a bad accident on the interstate
D#m F# F#
E snake of engine oil reaches out
[Riff]
[Verse]
B B C#m F# E B
The fire inside my soul
E F# G#m
is nearly flickered out
E B F# F# B
So I order another one
[Chorus]
E F# B B
Sliding into the sea
E F# B B
With cynicism and rum
E F# B B
Watching Miss Lorraine
C#m E D#m F# B
[Outro]
