Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
All hands on deck, please don't panic
It's probably a drill, there's really nothing wrong
Steady as she goes on the Titanic
It can't be too bad, the band plays on
There's life boats launched upon the water
Captain's crying, won't you please get in
I don't believe in this disaster
I just don't believe the mess we're in
Chorus
And the band's still playing
Can you hear those horns
Crying out for our souls
And the band's still playing
The band played hymns
And the band played rock and roll
Bah-en-bye-e-yah-i-yah
Bah-duh-dun-daa-daa
Bah-en-bye-e-yah-i-yah
Dah-Dun
Bah-en-bye-e-yah-i-yah
Bah-duh-dun-daa-daa
Bah-en-bye-e-yah-i-yah
Dah-Dun
Verse 2
(same chords as verse 1)
I'm gonna rearrange all of the deck chairs
I'm going to cover my head, every inch of skin
Trading in my sun glasses for a darker pair
So I won't have to see the mess we're in
This music's got me dancing so fast
You know I really ain't got time to think
Someone said something about a great big hole in the sky
Someone said "last call," time for one more drink
Lyrics to LifeLine
Lose our grip and we fall
Trying to climb over this wall
Made of anger and guilt
A high barrier we built
Place your foot on my back
It may be the height you lack
If you make it outside, would you come back
Be my guide
Chorus
Verse 3
(same as 1 and 2)
Only love will guide us through this time
As long as there's one flame
We have a lifeline
Only love will guide us through this time
See him stumble in the dark
Trying to buy a little spark
And drive it into a vein
For a moment kill the pain
Where's my job, where's my car
Where's my lover, where's the bar
We all search for escape
Is it from our fear of faith
So much anger and hate
We have put on so much weight
And we drag it around
Start to nuture every pound
Pick a fight, pick a war
Pick a race, settle a score
Rodney King sing your song
Why can't we just get along
Chorus
For reference the C/E chord is shaped like this:
E A D G B e
