Ishmael And Maggie

Biography:

Judging by the boldness of their choices, you’d never guess the Trews are 10 years, five studio albums and thousands of gigs into their highly celebrated career. Clearly, someone forgot to tell them that bands are supposed to become more predictable as the years go by, not less so.
And yet, evidence of a stubborn refusal to play it safe abounds, most notably in the East Coast-bred, Toronto-based rock squad’s eponymous, electrifying new disc, The Trews.

[Verse]
G Cadd2 Dsus4
Hello my name is Ishmael
G Cadd2 Dsus4
Forget the one about the whale
G Cadd2 Dsus4
I'll tell you of a broken-hearted
G Cadd2 Dsus4
sailor
G Cadd2 Dsus4
Maggie took my loyalty
G Cadd2 Dsus4
I treated her like royalty
G Cadd2 Dsus4
What starts out with such promise ends in
G Cadd2 Dsus4
failure

[Chorus]
G Cadd2 Dsus4 G Cadd2 Dsus4
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
G Cadd2 Dsus4 G Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been drinkin' too much, I better go home
G Cadd2 Dsus4 G Cadd2 Dsus4
And I think here I'm better off alone
G Cadd2 Dsus4 G Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been thinking too much, I better go home

[Verse]
G Cadd2 Dsus4
All hail the Queen of cruelty, she has
G Cadd2 Dsus4
duly been anointed
G Cadd2 Dsus4
These final words "her majesty" had
G Cadd2 Dsus4
to say
G Cadd2 Dsus4
"He who expects nothing never
G Cadd2 Dsus4
will be disappointed" Nothing's
G Cadd2 Dsus4
what she left me so I guess i'm
G Cadd2 Dsus4
okay

[Chorus]
G Cadd2 Dsus4 G Cadd2 Dsus4
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
G Cadd2 Dsus4 G Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been drinkin' too much, I better go home
G Cadd2 Dsus4 G Cadd2 Dsus4
And I think here we all stand alone
G Cadd2 Dsus4 G Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been thinking too much, I better go home

[Bridge]

[Verse]
G Cadd2 Dsus4
A promise made to a tab unpaid
G Cadd2 Dsus4
It's home I wade to my bed unmade
G Cadd2 Dsus4
A fool to think that I could ever
G Cadd2 Dsus4
change her
G Cadd2 Dsus4
A king upon my barstool throne
G Cadd2 Dsus4
I vow to never drink alone
G Cadd2 Dsus4
I only drink with friends or total
G Cadd2 Dsus4
strangers
