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

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