Chords To The Band's Still Playing
Capo on the 2nd Fret

E5  A5       G5     D5            E5    A5     G5    D5
All hands on deck, please don't panic
E5        A5    G5                     D5       E5      A5     G5    D5
It's probably a drill, there's really nothing wrong 
E5     A5     G5    D5      E5         A5     G5    D5
Steady as she goes on the Titanic 
E5       A5     G5    D5              E5         A5     G5    D5
It can't be too bad, the band plays on 
E5      A5         G5        D5        E5         A5     G5    D5
There's life boats launched upon the water
E5        A5      G5         D5          E5         A5     G5    D5
Captain's crying, won't you please get in 
E5 A5    G5       D5       E5         A5     G5    D5
I  don't believe in this disaster 
E5     A5    G5       D5              E5         A5     G5    D5
I just don't believe the mess we're in 


Chorus:
C5                  
And the band's still playing
                   E5 
Can you hear those horns 
A5                 E5
Crying out for our souls 
                     C5  
And the band's still playing 
                E5    A5
The band played hymns
                              D5 
And the band played rock and roll 

E5                 A5       G5     D5
Bah-en-bye-e-yah-i-yah
E5              A5       G5     D5
Bah-duh-dun-daa-daa
E5                 A5       G5     D5
Bah-en-bye-e-yah-i-yah
E5              A5       G5     D5
Dah-Dun

E5                 A5       G5     D5
Bah-en-bye-e-yah-i-yah
E5              A5       G5     D5
Bah-duh-dun-daa-daa
E5                 A5       G5     D5
Bah-en-bye-e-yah-i-yah
E5              A5       G5     D5
Dah-Dun


Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
I'm gonna rearrange all of the deck chairs 
I'm going to cover my head, every inch of skin 
Trading in my sun glasses for a darker pair 
So I won't have to see the mess we're in 
This music's got me dancing so fast 
You know I really ain't got time to think 
Someone said something about a great big hole in the sky 
Someone said "last call," time for one more drink
Lyrics to LifeLine

Lose our grip and we fall 
Trying to climb over this wall 
Made of anger and guilt 
A high barrier we built 
Place your foot on my back 
It may be the height you lack 
If you make it outside, would you come back
Be my guide 

Chorus

Verse 3: (same as 1 and 2)
Only love will guide us through this time 
As long as there's one flame 
We have a lifeline 
Only love will guide us through this time 
See him stumble in the dark 
Trying to buy a little spark 
And drive it into a vein 
For a moment kill the pain 
Where's my job, where's my car 
Where's my lover, where's the bar 
We all search for escape 
Is it from our fear of faith 
So much anger and hate 
We have put on so much weight 
And we drag it around 
Start to nuture every pound 
Pick a fight, pick a war 
Pick a race, settle a score 
Rodney King sing your song 
Why can't we just get along 

Chorus

For reference the C/E chord is shaped like this:
