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

[Verse]
F A#M7 A#add9 CM7
Your tongue is a rudder.
F A#M7
It steers the whole ship.
A#add9 CM7 F A#M7 Cadd9
Sends your words past your lips
A#M7 Dm A7sus2
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
F A#M7
But the wrong words will strand you.
A#add9 CM7 F A#M7
Come off course while you sleep.
A#add9 CM7 F A#M7
Sweep your boat out to sea
A#add9 CM7 Dm A7sus2 | % |
Or dashed to bits on the reef.
F A#M7
The vessel groans
A#add9 CM7 F A#M7 A#add9 CM7
The oc - ean pressures its frame.
F A#M7
To the port I see the lighthouse
A#add9 CM7 Dm A7sus2
Through the sleet and the rain.
F A#M7
And I wish for one more day
F A#M7 A#add9 CM7
To give my love and repay debts.
F A#M7
But the morning finds our bodies
A#add9 CM7 Dm A7sus2 | % | % | % |
Washed up thirty miles west.
[Chorus]
A# F
They say that the captain
Dm
Stays fast with the ship
A7sus2
Through still and storm.
A# F
But this ain't the Dakota.
Dm
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
A#M7
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.
A#M7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Dm
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.
F
This story's old
But it goes on and on
A#M7
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.
A#M7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Dm
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.
F
This is the end.
