Bm Em
Bm
We were free, we were brave
We thought Providence our slave
Em
Till the sea rose to fight
Sent us hurling to our grave
Bm
We cried out as we drowned
But our voices made no sound
Em
In the waves...
Bm
Not a truce nor a bribe
Could help us in that tide
Em
All our faith, all our pride
Our strength was cast aside
Bm
We were lost to the sea
Sunk and buried underneath
G F#m
But I...I survived
Bm
And it came without a warning
F#m
(It came without a warning)
Bm
Swept upon us in the morning
G
(Swept upon us in the morning)
Bm F#m
In the middle of our laughter
G
When all was well...
A
That unspeakable disaster fell
Bm Em Bm G F#m
Bm
Oh, we were kings, we were kin
Fought as brothers till the end
Em
We were drunk, we were hazed
We threw caution to the wind
Bm
We were gods, so we thought
But we learned who we were then
G F#m
Only men! Only men...
Bm
Pay attention to the warning
F#m
(So pay attention to the warning)
Bm
If you want to see the morning
G
(If you want to see the morning)
Bm F#m
In the middle of our laughter
G
When all was well...
A
That unspeakable disaster
Bm F#m
Crashed into our anchor
Bm G
And sent us falling to our Maker
Bm F#m
So heed the words of one who lived to
G
Tell the tale
A
Learn a lesson from the men who failed
D G Bm A G
D G
And I don't know why I survived
Bm
I too, deserve to die
A G
Providence has turned His eye
D G
And grace has chosen me to stay
Bm
To live another day
A G
Oh, to give this heart a word to write
D G
Of peace (Oh!) that reached through the debris
Bm
Of that wreckage I call, "me"
A G
And brought me safely through the night
D G
Of love (Oh!) stronger than the flood
Bm
That fills my heart like blood
A G
That keeps me anchored to the light
D G
Listen to what I have found (Listen to what I have found)
Bm
When my world ran aground
A G
Oh, grace was still a greater tide
D G
And all that I have left to say (All that I have left to say)
Bm
To those who've lost their way
A G
Oh, grace can even save your shipwrecked life!
D G Bm A G
D G
Listen to what I have found
Bm
When my world ran aground
A G
Oh, grace was still a greater tide
D G
And all that I have left to say
Bm
To those who've lost their way
A G
Oh my God, can even save your shipwrecked life!
