C#m
We were free, we were brave
We thought Providence our slave
F#m
Till the sea rose to fight
Sent us hurling to our grave
C#m
We cried out as we drowned
But our voices made no sound
F#m
In the waves...
C#m
Not a truce nor a bribe
Could help us in that tide
F#m
All our faith, all our pride
Our strength was cast aside
C#m
We were lost to the sea
Sunk and buried underneath
A G#m
But I...I survived
C#m
And it came without a warning
G#m
(It came without a warning)
C#m
Swept upon us in the morning
A
(Swept upon us in the morning)
C#m G#m
In the middle of our laughter
A
When all was well...
B
That unspeakable disaster fell
C#m F#m C#m A G#m
C#m
Oh, we were kings, we were kin
Fought as brothers till the end
F#m
We were drunk, we were hazed
We threw caution to the wind
C#m
We were gods, so we thought
But we learned who we were then
A G#m
Only men! Only men...
C#m
Pay attention to the warning
G#m
(So pay attention to the warning)
C#m
If you want to see the morning
A
(If you want to see the morning)
C#m G#m
In the middle of our laughter
A
When all was well...

That unspeakable disaster

And I don't know why I survived
C#m
I too, deserve to die
B A
Providence has turned His eye
E A
And grace has chosen me to stay
C#m
To live another day
B A
Oh, to give this heart a word to write
E A
Of peace (Oh!) that reached through the debris
C#m
Of that wreckage I call, "me"
B A
And brought me safely through the night
E A
Of love (Oh!) stronger than the flood
C#m
That fills my heart like blood
B A
That keeps me anchored to the light
E A
Listen to what I have found (Listen to what I have found)
C#m
When my world ran aground
B A
Oh, grace was still a greater tide
E A
And all that I have left to say (All that I have left to say)

To those who've lost their way
B A
Oh, grace can even save your shipwrecked life!
