They call them rogues.
Gadd9 CM7 D GM7 Gadd9 CM7
They travel fast and alone,
D GM7
One hundred foot faces
Gadd9 CM7 Bm A7sus2
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
D GM7
What they call love is a risk,
Gadd9 CM7 D GM7
'Cause you will always get hit
Gadd9 CM7 D
Out of nowhere
GM7 Gadd9 CM7 Bm A7sus2 | % | % | % |
By some wave and end up on your own.

D GM7 Gadd9 CM7
Your tongue is a rudder.
D GM7
It steers the whole ship.
Gadd9 CM7 D GM7 Cadd9
Sends your words past your lips
GM7 Bm A7sus2
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
D GM7
But the wrong words will strand you.
Gadd9 CM7 D GM7
Come off course while you sleep.
Gadd9 CM7 D GM7
Sweep your boat out to sea
Gadd9 CM7 Bm A7sus2 | % |
Or dashed to bits on the reef.
D GM7
The vessel groans
Gadd9 CM7 D GM7 Gadd9 CM7
The oc - ean pressures its frame.

To the port I see the lighthouse
Gadd9 CM7 Bm A7sus2
Through the sleet and the rain.
D GM7
And I wish for one more day
D GM7 Gadd9 CM7
To give my love and repay debts.

This story's old
But it goes on and on
GM7
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.
GM7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Bm
I know that this is what you want.
E 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
GM7
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.
GM7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Bm
I know that this is what you want.
E funeral keeps both of us apart.
A7sus2
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
D
This is the end.
