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