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