[Verse]
A DM7 Dadd9 CM7
We sent out the SOS call
A DM7 Cadd9
It was a quarter past four
DM7 A
In the morning
DM7 Dadd9 CM7 F#m A7sus2
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
A DM7 Cadd9
Four months at sea.
DM7 A DM7
Four months of calm seas
Dadd9 CM7 A DM7
to be pounded in the shallows
Dadd9 CM7 F#m A7sus2 | % | % |
Off the tip of Montauk Point.
A DM7
They call them rogues.
Dadd9 CM7 A DM7 Dadd9 CM7
They travel fast and alone,
A DM7
One hundred foot faces
Dadd9 CM7 F#m A7sus2
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
A DM7
What they call love is a risk,
Dadd9 CM7 A DM7
'Cause you will always get hit
Dadd9 CM7 A
Out of nowhere
DM7 Dadd9 CM7 F#m A7sus2 | % | % | % |
By some wave and end up on your own.
[Chorus]
D A
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
F#m A7sus2 | % |
To bail us out.
D A
But it flooded the engines and radio

[Verse]
A DM7 Dadd9 CM7
Your tongue is a rudder.
A DM7
It steers the whole ship.
Dadd9 CM7 A DM7 Cadd9
Sends your words past your lips
DM7 F#m A7sus2
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
A DM7
But the wrong words will strand you.
Dadd9 CM7 A DM7
Come off course while you sleep.
Dadd9 CM7 A DM7
Sweep your boat out to sea
Dadd9 CM7 F#m A7sus2 | % |
Or dashed to bits on the reef.
A DM7
The vessel groans
Dadd9 CM7 A DM7 Dadd9 CM7
The oc - ean pressures its frame.
A DM7
To the port I see the lighthouse
Dadd9 CM7 F#m A7sus2
Through the sleet and the rain.
A DM7
And I wish for one more day
A DM7 Dadd9 CM7
To give my love and repay debts.
A DM7
But the morning finds our bodies
Dadd9 CM7 F#m A7sus2 | % | % | % |
Washed up thirty miles west.
[Chorus]
D A
They say that the captain
F#m
Stays fast with the ship
A7sus2
Through still and storm.
D A
But this ain't the Dakota.
F#m
And the water is cold.
A7sus2 | % | % | % | % | % | % |
We won't have to fight for long.
[Ending]
This is the end.
A
This story's old
But it goes on and on
DM7
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath.
A
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
DM7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
F#m
I know that this is what you want.
B funeral keeps both of us apart.
A7sus2
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
