[Verse]
 
        C
Did you make a lot of money this year
         Cmaj7        Am
For some stranger you never met?
    C
Gonna make 'em more money next year
        Cmaj7                A
It feels stranger, the older I get
          F
But if you don't make money then what do you do?
          G
And if you don't make money what's the point of you?
  F
I got a funny feeling that I can't shake
            G
That there's something else that I could be trying to make
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     C     Bb
Model Ships
Am
Out of glue and sticks
    F
With tiny rigging and tiny masts
   G
And tiny sails so it can go real fast
    C              Bb           Am
And tiny sheets of copper on the keel
     F                         G
So it wouldn't get barnacles if it was real
 
 
[Verse]
 
       C
Did you work a lot of hours this year?
     Cmaj7                                       Am
Do you feel tired right down to the heart of your bones?
       C
Are you dreading next year?
     Cmaj7                                        A
Do you feel the force of the world spinning out of control?
           F
But if you don't obsess over things going wrong
         G
Then you probably wouldn't write this song
F
I got a funny feeling that I can't doubt
       G
There's something else that I could obsess about
 
[Chorus]
 
     C     Bb
Model ships
Am
Out of glue and sticks
    F
With tiny rigging and tiny masts
    G
And tiny sails and tiny spars
     C                   Bb           Am
And a tiny thrill when I mount it on a stand
      F                      G
That I made this ship with my own two hands
 
[Bridge]
 
     F                     G
And I bet you need a lot of specialist tools
     Em                              Am7
And I bet you need special sticks and special glue
  F                           G
I bet you need an area in your house or your shed
        Em                             Am7
And I bet when you make ships you don't think about death
     F                                 G
And I bet there are message boards that you can sign up to
     Em                         Am7
And I bet there are meet-ups that you can make friends through
   F                                Gb
And I'll be honest, most days I don't see the attraction
   G                          Ab
But some days, my God, I could use the distraction
 
'Cause I feel like I'm losing my grip
 
[Chorus]
    C      Bb
Model Ships!
Am
Out of glue and sticks
   F
With tiny rigging and tiny masts
   G
And tiny sails so it can go real fast
    F             G          Em       Am7
And tiny sheets of copper all along the keel
     F
So it wouldn't get
G
Barnacles
C
If it was real
