Intro
C#m B E
[Verse 1]
C#m B E
We built a ship and we followed the river bed
C#m
And we’re running from our fears
B E
As we push for steam ahead
C#m B
She moans just like a whale
E
Between the river and the rest
C#m
And the cracks that are in the hull
B E
Are the cracks in all of us
[Pre-Chorus]
A A C#m
And we’ll hold on tight
C#m
And I’m married to the dream
B E
That someday I’ll feel the earth again
C#m B E
And the ground beneath my feet would fix the bones of a broken man
A A C#m
And we’ll hold on tight
C#m G#m A B C#m F#m
I will hold on tight
[Chorus]
A B
And if I’ll fall, but if I’ll fall
C#m B E
She will catch me
F#m A
And we’ll hold on tight
A B
And if I’ll fall, but if I’ll fall
C#m B E
She will catch me
F#m A
And we’ll hold on tight
G#m B C#m B E
And we’ll hold on tight
[Verse 2]
C#m
And we’ve built a ship
B E
And she cradles us in her arms
C#m
And the fright never stops
B E
It just settle on her heart
[Pre-Chorus]
A A C#m
And we’ll hold on tight
C#m
And we’ll barge to sea
B E
And we’ll search the ocean for
C#m
And we’ll find ourselves a home
B E
That no one’s ever seen before
A A C#m
And we’ll hold on tight
C#m G#m A B C#m F#m
Till there’s nothing else
[Chorus]
A B
And if I’ll fall, but if I’ll fall
C#m B E
She will catch me
F#m A
And we’ll hold on tight
A B
And if I’ll fall, but if I’ll fall
C#m B E
She will catch me
F#m A
And we’ll hold on tight
G#m B C#m
And we’ll hold on tight
[Instrumental]
A B F#m C#m A
[Outro]
A B F#m
And if I’m falling, if I fall
C#m
She will catch me
A
And we’ll hold on tight
A B F#m
And if I’m falling, if I fall
C#m
She will catch me
A
And we’ll hold on tight (x4)
