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