[Verse]

The black flag just ain’t that dark

Made my way down to the docks

In the storm, the canons were shot aimed at me

I guess she hit the spot
C#           C#m           B           E
A second blurred my sight

When my head hit the sand

Right here together

[Verse]

Leaving for the farthest trip
C#           C#m           B           E
She´ll never stay that long
C#           C#m           C#           B
When headed to the docks

She whispered slowly

So when the time has come to kiss ourselves goodbye.

We won’t be bitter

How long have I fed on this crap
A5                                                                       E
I´m trying really hard not to set and avoid traps
C#
Am I sober now
D           Aadd9
Am i sober now
C#
Am I sober now
D           Aadd9
Am i sober now

[Chorus]
A5                                         E
Let’s not speak about tomorrow

Let’s make the best of what is left of our time

Right here together
