[Verse 2]
  C#m
Friday afternoon is cool
                             B/D#
I lost my faith in Sunday school
   E
Deliver me from Liverpool
                       F#   G#m
I feel just like an April  fool
                           F#
Someone's gotta break the rule
   F#sus4    F#
  C#m
Sticking to the script
         B/D#   E
We built a-----nother sinking ship
         F#   G#m
She's so a---lone
                      F#
Never gonna leave my home
   F#sus4    F#
 C#m
Mother nature can't go wrong
                             B/D#
The science God's forever strong
    E
A-floating in a great beyond
                   F#   G#m
And everybody sing a---long
                     F#    F#sus4
Everybody rock that song

[Outro]
F#              A
 I'm a lonely, lonely lord
 C#
Searching all night
for the wrong reward
C
 An appetite that's
  D              C#
running on all fours
F#             A
 Misdirection waves its wand
 C#m
Turning my head from
black to blonde
C                   D
 Like a queen will now
             C#
 become the pawn
 F#                     A
Busted on a ship gone, take me home
 C#
Mother named faith,
made lightning comes
C
 Busted on a ship that's
  D                   C#
sailing through the foam
F#              A
 I'm a lonely, lonely lord
 C#
Pick another day to be restored
 C                        D
Just another fate that's going
      C#
overboard
