Intro
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Camj7 Em Em7
Verse
G Cmaj7 We sent out the SOS call
G Cmaj7 It was a quater past four
G In the morning
Cmaj7 Em Em7 When the storm broke our second anchor line. G Cmaj7 Four months at sea.
G Cmaj7 Four months of calm seas
G Cmaj7 Only to be pounded in the shallows
Em Em7 Off of the tip of Montauk Point.
G Cmaj7 They call them rogues.
G Cmaj7 They travel fast and alone,
G Cmaj7 One hundred foot faces
Em Em7 Of God's good ocean gone wrong
G Cmaj7 What they call love is a risk,
G Cmaj7 Cause you will always get hit
G Out of nowhere
Cmaj7 Em Em7 By some wave and end up on your own.
Chorus
C G The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts Em Em7 To bail us out. C G And flooded the engines and radio Em Em7 And half buried bow.
Verse
G Cmaj7 Your tongue is a rudder.
G Cmaj7 It steers the whole ship.
G Cmaj7 Sends your words past your lips
Em Em7
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
G Cmaj7 But the wrong words will strand you.
G Cmaj7 Come off course while you sleep.
G Cmaj7 Sweep your boat out to sea
Em Em7 Or dashed it to bits on the reef.
G Cmaj7 The vessel groans
G Cmaj7 The ocean pressures its frame.
G Cmaj7 Off the port I see the lighthouse
Em Em7 Through the sleet and the rain.
G Cmaj7 And I wish for one more day
G Cmaj7 To give my love and repay debts.
G Cmaj7 But the morning finds our bodies
Em Em7 Washed up thirty miles west.
Chorus
C G They say that the captain
Em Stays fast with the ship
Em7 Through still and storm. C G But this ain't the Dakota.
Em And the water is cold.
Em7 We won't have to fight for long.
Ending
G This is the end.
This story's old
But it goes on and on
Cmaj7 Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
G While you were underneath.
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Cmaj7 Of mountains sunk below the sea.
I spoke the words but never
Em Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
I know that this is what you want.
Em7 A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You know that you are not alone.
G Need you like water in my lungs.
