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

She will catch me
