INTRO
[G] [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9]
[G] [Cadd9] [Em7] [B7sus4]
VERSE 1
We sent out [G]the SOS [Cadd9]call
It was a [G]quater past [Cadd9]four
In the [G]morning
When the [Cadd9]storm broke our [Em7]second anchor [B7sus4]line.
[G]Four months at [Cadd9]sea.
Four [G]months of calm [Cadd9]seas
Only to be [G]pounded in the [Cadd9]shallows
Off of the [Em7]tip of Montauk [B7sus4]Point.
VERSE 2
[G]They call them [Cadd9]rogues.
They travel [G]fast and [Cadd9]alone,
One [G]hundred foot [Cadd9]faces
Of God's good [Em7]ocean gone [B7sus4]wrong
What they call [G]love is a [Cadd9]risk,
Cause you will [G]always get [Cadd9]hit
Out of [G]nowhere
By some [Cadd9]wave and end [Em7]up on your [B7sus4]own.
CHORUS 1
[C]The hole in the [G]hull defied the crews attempts
[Em7]To bail us [B7sus4]out.
[C]And flooded the [G]engines and radio
[Em7]And half buried [B7sus4]bow.
VERSE 3
Your [G]tongue is a [Cadd9]rudder.
It [G]steers the whole [Cadd9]ship.
Sends your [G]words past your [Cadd9]lips
Or keeps them [Em7]safe behind your [B7sus4]teeth.
But the [G]wrong words will [Cadd9]strand you.
Come off [G]course while you [Cadd9]sleep.
Sweep your [G]boat out to [Cadd9]sea
Or dashed it to [Em7]bits on the [B7sus4]reef.
VERSE 4
[G]The vessel [Cadd9]groans
The ocean [G]pressures its [Cadd9]frame.
Off the [G]port I see the [Cadd9]lighthouse
Through the [Em7]sleet and the [B7sus4]rain.
And I wish [G]for one more [Cadd9]day
To give my [G]love and repay [Cadd9]debts.
But the [G]morning finds our [Cadd9]bodies
Washed up [Em7]thirty miles [B7sus4]west.
CHORUS 2
[C]They say that the [G]captain
Stays fast with the [Em7]ship
Through still and [B7sus4]storm.
[C]But this ain't the [G]Dakota.
And the water is [Em7]cold.
We won't have to fight for [B7sus4]long.
ENDING
This is the [G]end.
This story's old
But it goes on and on
Until we [Cadd9]disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were [G]underneath.
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the [Cadd9]sea.
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could [Em7]mean.
I know that this is what you want.
A funeral keeps both of us [B7sus4]apart.
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my [G]lungs.
