[Verse 1]
   G          G            D         G
I shiver and shake, every morning I wake
         G           G          C      C
To the roar of the trains overhead
         G          G       D           G
I got a newspaper floor, a towel for a door
              C               C           D     D
And there's things crawling 'round in my bed
      G             G           D          G
The facilities are free at the ship hostelry
         C           G         D    D
For the football supporters appear
        G         G            D           G
Am I'm losing my mind in the great left behind
C  G     Am     D
I got to get myself out of here
 
[Chorus]
Em        C     G            D
Man Overboard, waves washing over me
Em    C             G        D
Hard times, it's a perilous sea
Em           C
I'll never learn
G           D             Em           C
Anyone can tell you where you can find me
  G          C
Drunk and disorderly
 
[Interlude]
G  C  G  Am
G  C  G  Am
 
[Verse 2]
         G            G           D              G
There's rain on the ground and I can see upside down
   G                 G           C      C
Streetlamps and the repossessed homes
           G            G                D            G
They say crime doesn't pay, well take a walk down my way
          C              C         D      D
And I'm stuck here with nowhere to go
 G            G                D           G
Out on the street with all the other deadbeats
 C        G             D      D
Wasting away with the years
        G          G            D            G
Their ships going down on the wrong side of town
    C  G    Am      D
And I gotta get my ass out of here
 
[Chorus]
Em        C     G            D
Man Overboard, waves washing over me
 Em   C            G          D
Sometimes it's a treacherous sea
 Em               C
Walls spinning around
    G             D             Em     C
The anger that's hidden deep inside of me
  G          C
Drunk and disorderly
 
[Interlude]
G  C  G  Am
G  C  G  Am
 
[Bridge]
 C        C    D        G
Reality this, reality that
   C         C           D           G
I been there once and I ain't going back
        C          C            D            G
They squeezed me 'till I came apart at the seams
    Em           C     G          G
Now I'd rather dream drunk and disorderly dreams
 
[Interlude]
G  C  G  Am

[Verse 3]
          G           G             D             G
They got lasers that zap, they got cures for the clap
         G          G        C     C
You can see your insides on TV
          G            G        D             G
They got all kinds of pills for all kinds of ills
          C             C           D      D
But they ain't found a cure yet for me
 G            G              D          G
Out on the street where the cigarettes meet
  C          G             D      D
Abandon hope all who live here
       G            G             D            G
There ain't no medicine for the state that I'm in
    C  G    Am     D
And I gotta get myself outta here
 
[Chorus]
Em        C     G            D
Man Overboard, waves washing over me
 Em   C            G        D
Hard times it's a perilous sea
 Em          C       G            D
I'll never learn the 12 steps to heaven
 Em                 C
They never work for me
  G          C
Drunk and disorderly
 
[Chorus]
Em        C       G             D
Man Overboard, straight in the deep end baby
 Em  C             G          D
Sometimes it's a treacherous sea
   Em         C
If I'm going down
    G              D         Em       C
It can't hurt any more than what you did to me
  G          C
Drunk and disorderly
 
[Outro]
