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