[Verse]
F# BM7 Badd9 CM7
We sent out the SOS call
F# BM7 Cadd9
It was a quarter past four
BM7 F#
In the morning
BM7 Badd9 CM7 D#m A7sus2
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
F# BM7 Cadd9
Four months at sea.
BM7 F# BM7
Four months of calm seas
Badd9 CM7 F# BM7
to be pounded in the shallows
Badd9 CM7 D#m A7sus2 | % | % |
Off the tip of Montauk Point.
F# BM7
They call them rogues.
Badd9 CM7 F# BM7 Badd9 CM7
They travel fast and alone,
F# BM7
One hundred foot faces
Badd9 CM7 D#m A7sus2
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
F# BM7
What they call love is a risk,
Badd9 CM7 F# BM7
'Cause you will always get hit
Badd9 CM7 F#
Out of nowhere
BM7 Badd9 CM7 D#m A7sus2 | % | % | % |
By some wave and end up on your own.
[Chorus]
B F#
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
D#m A7sus2 | % |
To bail us out.
B F#
But it flooded the engines and radio

[Verse]
F# BM7 Badd9 CM7
Your tongue is a rudder.
F# BM7
It steers the whole ship.
Badd9 CM7 F# BM7 Cadd9
Sends your words past your lips
BM7 D#m A7sus2
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
F# BM7
But the wrong words will strand you.
Badd9 CM7 F# BM7
Come off course while you sleep.
Badd9 CM7 F# BM7
Sweep your boat out to sea
Badd9 CM7 D#m A7sus2 | % |
Or dashed to bits on the reef.
F# BM7
The vessel groans
Badd9 CM7 F# BM7 Badd9 CM7
The oc - ean pressures its frame.
F# BM7
To the port I see the lighthouse
Badd9 CM7 D#m A7sus2
Through the sleet and the rain.
F# BM7
And I wish for one more day
F# BM7 Badd9 CM7
To give my love and repay debts.
F# BM7
But the morning finds our bodies
Badd9 CM7 D#m A7sus2 | % | % | % |
Washed up thirty miles west.
[Chorus]
B F#
They say that the captain
D#m
Stays fast with the ship
A7sus2
Through still and storm.
B F#
But this ain't the Dakota.
D#m
And the water is cold.
A7sus2 | % | % | % | % | % | % |
We won't have to fight for long.
[Ending]
This is the end.
F#
This story's old
But it goes on and on
BM7
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath.
F#
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
BM7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
D#m
I know that this is what you want.
G# funeral keeps both of us apart.
A7sus2
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
