VERSE:
 G                       Dm
Cold cold ashes on the ground
Am                          G
 Nothing lost and nothing found
   G                            Dm
Friends and loved ones falling down
Am                              G
 Can't you hear that mournful sound?
 
G                     Dm
Nothing left but memories
Am                              G
 Things I still can't stand to see
G                        Dm
There's an empty spot in me
Am                         G
 Where my hometown used to be
 
 
CHORUS:
 G        Dm             C
This old boat is taking water
             C                 G
It won't be long 'til it goes down
       Dm             F
Had enough to push us over
C                         Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around
 
G   Dm   Am   G
G   Dm   Am   G
 
 
VERSE:
G                       Dm
Neighborhoods left to decay
Am                       G
 People died or walked away
G                                 Dm
There's nowhere left for them to stay
Am                           G
 And we just look the other way
 
 
CHORUS:
 G        Dm             C
This old boat is taking water
             C                 G
It won't be long 'til it goes down
       Dm             F
Had enough to push us over
C                         Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around

VERSE:
G                                Dm
Waves keep pounding through the night
Am                       G
 Lost without a ray of light
G                     Dm
Going down without a fight
Am                               G
Is there still time to make it right?
 
 
CHORUS:
 G        Dm             C
This old boat is taking water
             C                 G
It won't be long 'til it goes down
       Dm             F
Had enough to push us over
C                         Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around

 Time to turn the wheel around
