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