The movie version has a different picking from the studio version anyway.

The following strumming goes like this: D D D DuDuD DuDu


[Chorus]

(C)               (F)               (Am)
Take this sinking boat and point it home...
               (F)
We've still got time...
(C)                  (F)               (Am)
Raise your hopefull voice you had the choice...
                (F)
You've made it known...


[Verse 2] (picking) 

(C)           (F)
Falling slowly, eyes that know me...
(C)              (F)
and i cant go back....
(C)               (F)
Moods that take me and erase me...
(C)                 (F)
and I'm painted black...


[Bridge]

You have suffered enough and warred with yourself, its time that you've won...


[Chorus]

(C)               (F)               (Am)
Take this sinking boat and point it home...
               (F)
We've still got time...
(C)                  (F)               (Am)
Raise your hopefull voice you had the choice...
               (F)
You've made it now...


[Chorus]

(C)           (F)              (Am)
Falling slowly, sing your melody...
              (F)
I'll sing it loud...


[Outro]
