A I’ve got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket C#m B Wont get to space cos I haven’t got a rocket A But I’ve air in my lungs Eyes in my sockets E And a heart that beats B Like a tap that leaks A In the night when you haven’t got a plumber who can stop it C#m B Jack in a box without a key to lock it G#m A Well this boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it B C#m Cos the sea doesn’t know my name G#m A Yeah the boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it B E Cos the sea doesn’t know my name Chorus: A Well if you can’t get what you love E B You learn to love the things you’ve got A If you can’t be what you want E B You learn to be the things you’re not A If you can’t get what you need C#m B A C#m You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming B E All the things that stop you dreaming Well I've got no one's word and nobody's promise Not a lot to show But this book full of sonnets And my liver may be fuc*ed but my heart is honest And my word is true Like the sky is blue in the summer time When everybody gets on it Warm our skins and get sunburnt from it And our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets That shoot like silver trains Yeah our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets That shoot like silver trains Chorus: Well if you can't get what you love You learn to love the things you've got If you can't be what you want You learn to be the things you're not If you can't get what you need You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming All the things that stop you dreaming Well if you can't get what you love You learn to love the things you've got If you can't be what you want You learn to be the things you're not If you can't get what you need You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming All the things that stop you dreaming All the things that stop you dreaming You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  E  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
