[Intro] Yeah, that's right. (One, Two, Three) One (Two, Three) One (Two, Three) One | G | Cmaj7 Cadd9 Cmaj7 | (x3) | Em | A7sus2 | [Verse]

                G   CM7 Cadd9 CM7
We sent out the SOS call

         G            CM7 Cadd9
It was a quarter past four

CM7    G
In the morning

         CM7     Cadd9 CM7  Em            A7sus2
When the storm broke    our second anchor line.

G                CM7 Cadd9
  Four months at sea.

CM7  G              CM7
Four months of calm seas

Cadd9 CM7 G              CM7
to    be  pounded in the shallows

Cadd9 CM7 Em           A7sus2 | % | % |
Off   the tip of Montauk Point.

G                CM7
  They call them rogues.

    Cadd9 CM7  G          CM7  Cadd9 CM7
They    travel fast and alone,

    G            CM7
One hundred foot faces

   Cadd9 CM7  Em          A7sus2
Of God's good ocean gone wrong

              G          CM7
What they call love is a risk,

       Cadd9 CM7  G          CM7
'Cause you   will always get hit

 Cadd9 CM7 G
Out    of nowhere

        CM7  Cadd9 CM7 Em          A7sus2 | % | % | % |
By some wave and    end up on your own.

[Chorus]

C                 G
  The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts

Em             A7sus2 | % |
  To bail us out.

C                    G
  But it flooded the engines and radio

Em              A7sus2 | % |
  half buried bow.

[Interlude] | G | Cmaj7 Cadd9 Cmaj7 | (x3) | Em | A7sus2 | % | [Verse]

     G           CM7   Cadd9 CM7
Your tongue is a rudder.

   G                CM7
It steers the whole ship.

Cadd9 CM7  G               CM7 Cadd9
Sends your words past your lips

  CM7         Em               A7sus2
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.

        G                CM7
But the wrong words will strand you.

Cadd9 CM7  G                CM7
Come   off course while you sleep.

Cadd9 CM7  G           CM7
Sweep your boat out to sea

   Cadd9  CM7 Em         A7sus2 | % |
Or dashed to bits on the reef.

G            CM7
  The vessel groans

    Cadd9 CM7 G            CM7  Cadd9 CM7
The oc - ean pressures its frame.

       G              CM7
To the port I see the lighthouse

  Cadd9 CM7 Em             A7sus2
Through the sleet and the rain.

              G         CM7
And I wish for one more day

           G              CM7  Cadd9 CM7
To give my love and repay debts.

        G                 CM7
But the morning finds our bodies

  Cadd9 CM7  Em           A7sus2 | % | % | % |
Washed    up thirty miles west.

[Chorus]

C                   G
  They say that the captain

                    Em
Stays fast with the ship

                  A7sus2
Through still and storm.

C                       G
  But this ain't the Dakota.

                     Em
And the water is cold.

                             A7sus2 | % | % | % | % | % | % |
We won't have to fight for long.

[Ending] This is the end.

G
  This story's old

But it goes on and on

               CM7
Until we disappear.

Calm me and let me taste The salt that you breathed While you were underneath.

G
  I am the one who haunts your dreams

Of mountains sunk below the sea.

CM7
  I spoke the words but never

Gave a thought to what they all could mean.

Em
  I know that this is what you want.

A funeral keeps both of us apart.

A7sus2
  You know that you are not alone.

Need you like water in my lungs.
