In Your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yes[E/G#]terday surround me[F#m]
I [A+9]yearn for peace and [D/F#]rest
I don't want to end[E/G#] up where You found me[F#m]

Endless remind[A+9]ing of my si[D/F#]n
Time and time a[E]gain Your truth i[F#m]s drowned out
[A+9]By the storm I'm in[D/F#]

To ge[D]t me through this night[A+9]
I can't live by what I feel[C#m]

You're holding on to me[F#m] [E]
