[Verse 1]
G
The milk from mothers breast
D F#
Gave you the start that was best
Bm G
Food on your face, your hair a mess
D F#
Flying colours, lifes little tests
Bm G
Confident and strong, sticking out your chest
D F#m
The best to come, the worst a guess
[Pre-chrous]
Bm G. D F#
Am I livin' a lie? I ask me myself and I
Bm G D F#m
'Cause everybody knows, courage comes and goes

Brother hold on for the next supply

To thine own self, be true

Bm G D F#m
You paddle your own canoe

You paddle your own canoe

Your own canoe!

Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do

[Verse 2]
Bm G
Eddies and kicks, rapids turn six
D F#m
Then you remiss, chances you missed
Bm G
Wind hits your sails, start to prevail
D F#m
Suddenly assailed, wind, rain and hail
Bm G
You just hit your stride, bride by your side
D F#m
It’s a smooth ride, systems collide
Bm G
It’s your first real strife, pretty little life
D F#
Change overnight, real fuckin' fight
Bm G
Times shuck and jive, odds spike and dive
D F#m
Hornets now fully out of the hive
Bm G
This too shall pass, ride it out on your raft
D F# Bm G
You just never know how long these things will last
D F# Bm--G
Last, last, last, last
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G. D F#
Am I livin' a lie? I ask me myself and I
Bm G D F#m
'Cause everybody knows, courage comes and goes

Brother hold on for the next supply

Mister I ain't following you

Talk until your face is blue
[Interlude]
D F# Bm G F#
[Chorus]
Bm G D F#
To thine own self, be true
Bm G D F#
In this life it's all up to you
Bm G D F#m
You paddle your own canoe

You paddle your own canoe
Bm F#m
Your own canoe!

Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do
Bm
Your own canoe!
G D F#m
Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do
[Outro]
B E B E
I'm in the middle of a jungle man, I'm right in the throngs
B E B
All kinds of little animals yelling, telling me I'm wrong (you're wrong)
E B E
Okay maybe they’re right? Nah, should say sorry to myself
B E B
Those itty-bitty fucks can’t fuck up my good mental health
Bm E B E
The winds of change are so strong, man they need names
B E
Like tornadoes, cyclones and hurricanes
