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

Listen to what I have found
G#m
When my world ran aground
F# E
Oh, grace was still a greater tide
B E
And all that I have left to say
G#m
To those who've lost their way
F# E
Oh my God, can even save your shipwrecked life!
