While the boat swims in circles and I sink in sales (?)

Important Note:
B5
--------------------| This riff is also played over the final chorus, but
--------------------| if you don't have a second guitarist handy, just play
-11-11-11-11-11-11--| interlude chords displayed above, they'll sound okay
-x--x--x--x--x--x---| on their own, it's just Matt likes to make a lot of
-9--9--9--9--9--9---| songs with two guitar tracks for more melodic beef
--------------------| I guess.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final chorus:
These aren't the right lyrics, but I really can't make out what he's
singing, the chords are right though. If you have any idea what they are just
say in a comment, though probably we'll find out the exact lyrics when the
album is released.
