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