Intro: B5 E5 A5
B5 E5
I can't eat I can't sleep
A5
I'm looking up at the satellite
B5 E5
Where did we go wrong this time?
A5
Whoa
B5
Did you think this through? Do you have the facts?
E5 A5
Oh I'm betting on a fight another heart attack
B5 E5
All translation is lost, I'm so exhausted
A5
I'm coming undone
Chorus:
B5 A5
---- Sinking like a battleship
B5 A5 B5
---- Am I ever gonna get through this?
B5 A5
---- We're standing on a fault line
B5 A5
---- Oh this happens all the time
Intro x2
B5 E5
Well I can't think, I'm losing sleep
A5
I'm staring up at the stars tonight
B5 E5 A5
Where did we go wrong this time?
(Chorus)
B5 A5
---- We're sinking like a battleship
B5 A5 B5
---- We're sinking like a stone
A5
We're barely hanging on
B5 A5 B5
---- We're sinking like a stone
A5 (hold)
We're barely hanging on

Lead line for the chorus:
E | ------------------------------ |
B | ------------------------------ |
G | --7-7-7~---------------------- |
D | --7-7-7~-----7-0-5-0-4-0-2-0-- |
A | --5-5-5~-(0)------------------ |
E | --7-7-7~---------------------- |
You can also play the chords like this:
B5 E5 A5
E | --0---0---0-- |
B | --3---3---3-- |
G | --2---2---2-- |
D | --0---0---0-- |
A | --2-------0-- |
E | ------------- |
But the A5 chord just sounds like regular D.
It's not exact but it works well for acoustic.
