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