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

And if I’ll fall, but if I’ll fall

She will catch me

And we’ll hold on tight
Em G Am
And we’ll hold on tight

And if I’m falling, if I fall

And we’ll hold on tight (x4)
