[Verse]
B EM7 Eadd9 CM7
We sent out the SOS call
B EM7 Cadd9
It was a quarter past four
EM7 B
In the morning
EM7 Eadd9 CM7 G#m A7sus2
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
B EM7 Cadd9
Four months at sea.
EM7 B EM7
Four months of calm seas
Eadd9 CM7 B EM7
to be pounded in the shallows
Eadd9 CM7 G#m A7sus2 | % | % |
Off the tip of Montauk Point.
B EM7
They call them rogues.
Eadd9 CM7 B EM7 Eadd9 CM7
They travel fast and alone,
B EM7
One hundred foot faces
Eadd9 CM7 G#m A7sus2
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
B EM7
What they call love is a risk,
Eadd9 CM7 B EM7
'Cause you will always get hit
Eadd9 CM7 B
Out of nowhere
EM7 Eadd9 CM7 G#m A7sus2 | % | % | % |
By some wave and end up on your own.
[Chorus]
E B
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
G#m A7sus2 | % |
To bail us out.
E B
But it flooded the engines and radio
G#m A7sus2 | % |
half buried bow.

[Verse]
B EM7 Eadd9 CM7
Your tongue is a rudder.
B EM7
It steers the whole ship.
Eadd9 CM7 B EM7 Cadd9
Sends your words past your lips
EM7 G#m A7sus2
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
B EM7
But the wrong words will strand you.
Eadd9 CM7 B EM7
Come off course while you sleep.
Eadd9 CM7 B EM7
Sweep your boat out to sea
Eadd9 CM7 G#m A7sus2 | % |
Or dashed to bits on the reef.
B EM7
The vessel groans
Eadd9 CM7 B EM7 Eadd9 CM7
The oc - ean pressures its frame.
B EM7
To the port I see the lighthouse
Eadd9 CM7 G#m A7sus2
Through the sleet and the rain.
B EM7
And I wish for one more day
B EM7 Eadd9 CM7
To give my love and repay debts.
B EM7
But the morning finds our bodies
Eadd9 CM7 G#m A7sus2 | % | % | % |
Washed up thirty miles west.
[Chorus]
E B
They say that the captain
G#m
Stays fast with the ship
A7sus2
Through still and storm.
E B
But this ain't the Dakota.
G#m
And the water is cold.
A7sus2 | % | % | % | % | % | % |
We won't have to fight for long.
[Ending]
This is the end.
B
This story's old
But it goes on and on
EM7
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath.
B
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
EM7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
G#m
I know that this is what you want.
C# funeral keeps both of us apart.
A7sus2
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
B
This story's old
But it goes on and on
EM7
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath.
B
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
EM7
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
G#m

C# funeral keeps both of us apart.
A7sus2
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.

This is the end.
