G# C#M7 C#add9 CM7
We sent out the SOS call
G# C#M7 Cadd9
It was a quarter past four
C#M7 G#
In the morning
C#M7 C#add9 CM7 Fm A7sus2
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
G# C#M7 Cadd9
Four months at sea.
C#M7 G# C#M7
Four months of calm seas
C#add9 CM7 G# C#M7
to be pounded in the shallows
C#add9 CM7 Fm A7sus2 | % | % |
Off the tip of Montauk Point.
G# C#M7
They call them rogues.
C#add9 CM7 G# C#M7 C#add9 CM7
They travel fast and alone,
G# C#M7
One hundred foot faces
C#add9 CM7 Fm A7sus2
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
G# C#M7
What they call love is a risk,
C#add9 CM7 G# C#M7
'Cause you will always get hit
C#add9 CM7 G#
Out of nowhere
C#M7 C#add9 CM7 Fm A7sus2 | % | % | % |
By some wave and end up on your own.
[Chorus]
C# G#
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
Fm A7sus2 | % |
To bail us out.
C# G#
But it flooded the engines and radio
Fm A7sus2 | % |

[Verse]
G# C#M7 C#add9 CM7
Your tongue is a rudder.
G# C#M7
It steers the whole ship.
C#add9 CM7 G# C#M7 Cadd9
Sends your words past your lips
C#M7 Fm A7sus2
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
G# C#M7
But the wrong words will strand you.
C#add9 CM7 G# C#M7
Come off course while you sleep.
C#add9 CM7 G# C#M7
Sweep your boat out to sea
C#add9 CM7 Fm A7sus2 | % |
Or dashed to bits on the reef.
G# C#M7
The vessel groans
C#add9 CM7 G# C#M7 C#add9 CM7
The oc - ean pressures its frame.
G# C#M7
To the port I see the lighthouse
C#add9 CM7 Fm A7sus2
Through the sleet and the rain.
G# C#M7
And I wish for one more day
G# C#M7 C#add9 CM7
To give my love and repay debts.
G# C#M7
But the morning finds our bodies
C#add9 CM7 Fm A7sus2 | % | % | % |
Washed up thirty miles west.
[Chorus]
C# G#
They say that the captain
Fm
Stays fast with the ship
A7sus2
Through still and storm.
C# G#
But this ain't the Dakota.
Fm
And the water is cold.
A7sus2 | % | % | % | % | % | % |
We won't have to fight for long.
[Ending]
This is the end.
G#
This story's old
But it goes on and on
C#M7
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath.
G#
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
C#M7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Fm
I know that this is what you want.
A# funeral keeps both of us apart.
A7sus2
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
G#
This story's old
But it goes on and on
C#M7
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath.
G#
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
C#M7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.

I know that this is what you want.
A# funeral keeps both of us apart.
A7sus2
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
