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

And if I’ll fall, but if I’ll fall

And we’ll hold on tight

And we’ll hold on tight

And if I’m falling, if I fall

She will catch me
C
And we’ll hold on tight (x4)
