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

She will catch me

And we’ll hold on tight
Fm G# A#m
And we’ll hold on tight
[Instrumental]
F# G# D#m A#m F#
[Outro]
F# G# D#m
And if I’m falling, if I fall
A#m
She will catch me
F#
And we’ll hold on tight
F# G# D#m
And if I’m falling, if I fall
A#m
She will catch me
F#
And we’ll hold on tight (x4)
