[Verse]
Em                 D               C              G
No one told me if I'd be lonely or be at peace by now
   C               G                      D
Or head o'er heel, alive or dead, or just getting by somehow
      Em               D               C                 G
Got a backyard full of curing wood and change for dollar bills
   C                  G         D
Or habits that ain't fit for no living man to sell
     Em              D           C             G
Been everywhere just barely and always gave my best
    C              G               D
And I'll keep your secrets til I'm three sheets to the wind
  Em          D                 C                  G
A lonely road I have walked and walked it none the less
    C                  G          D
The biggest ships turn slowly and some are made to drift
 
[Chorus]
G                    D
Big Ships turn slow, stop and take a rest
        C           G   D
Let the others pass by, somе are made to drift
G         D
La la la, hey hеy hey
C               G                D
I'm just trying float through another day

[Verse]
     Em         D             C               G
This silence is beautiful and where I like it best
C                  G            D
Here your greatest enemy could one day be your friend
      Em             D                  C           G
Got a window full of plastic flowers, a chair and a desk
    C                G           D
And hold the way of giving in to expectation
      Em           D                C        G
Yeah I could write back somehow and say it's okay
        C                 G       D
But I'm better at turning off for days and days and days
       Em                   D                C             G
And it ain't the years that aged me it's the miles on this sea
      C         G         D
Ain't no one to blame but me
 
[Chorus]
G                    D
Big Ships turn slow, stop and take a rest
        C           G   D
Let the others pass by, somе are made to drift
G         D
La la la, hey hеy hey
C               G                D
I'm just trying get through another day
G                               D
There ain't no one to blame but me
            C         G         D
There ain't no one to blame but me
G                               D
There ain't no one to blame but me
            C         G         D
There ain't no one to blame but me
