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