G CM7 Cadd9 CM7
We sent out the SOS call
G CM7 Cadd9
It was a quarter past four
CM7 G
In the morning
CM7 Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
G CM7 Cadd9
Four months at sea.
CM7 G CM7
Four months of calm seas
Cadd9 CM7 G CM7
to be pounded in the shallows
Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2 | % | % |
Off the tip of Montauk Point.
G CM7
They call them rogues.
Cadd9 CM7 G CM7 Cadd9 CM7
They travel fast and alone,
G CM7
One hundred foot faces
Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
G CM7
What they call love is a risk,
Cadd9 CM7 G CM7
'Cause you will always get hit
Cadd9 CM7 G
Out of nowhere
CM7 Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2 | % | % | % |
By some wave and end up on your own.

To bail us out.

But it flooded the engines and radio

[Verse]
G CM7 Cadd9 CM7
Your tongue is a rudder.
G CM7
It steers the whole ship.
Cadd9 CM7 G CM7 Cadd9
Sends your words past your lips
CM7 Em A7sus2
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
G CM7
But the wrong words will strand you.
Cadd9 CM7 G CM7
Come off course while you sleep.
Cadd9 CM7 G CM7
Sweep your boat out to sea
Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2 | % |
Or dashed to bits on the reef.
G CM7
The vessel groans
Cadd9 CM7 G CM7 Cadd9 CM7
The oc - ean pressures its frame.
G CM7
To the port I see the lighthouse
Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2
Through the sleet and the rain.
G CM7
And I wish for one more day
G CM7 Cadd9 CM7
To give my love and repay debts.
G CM7
But the morning finds our bodies
Cadd9 CM7 Em A7sus2 | % | % | % |
Washed up thirty miles west.
[Chorus]
C G
They say that the captain
Em
Stays fast with the ship
A7sus2
Through still and storm.
C G
But this ain't the Dakota.
Em
And the water is cold.

We won't have to fight for long.
[Ending]
This is the end.
G
This story's old
But it goes on and on
CM7
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.
CM7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Em
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
CM7
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.
CM7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Em
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 is the end.
