Lyrics
[Intro]
Gb Bmaj7 Gb Bmaj7
Gb Bmaj7
Ebm Ab7sus2 Gb Bmaj7
We sent out the S.O.S. call
[Verse 1]
Gb Bmaj7 Gb
It was a quarter past four in the morning
Bmaj7 Ebm Ab7sus2
When the storm broke our second anchor line
Gb Bmaj7
Four months at sea
Gb Bmaj7
Four months of calm seas
Gb Bmaj7 Ebm
To be pounded in the shallows off the tip of
Ab7sus2
Montauk Point
Gb
They call 'em rogues,
Bmaj7 Gb Bmaj7
they travel fast and alone
Gb Bmaj7 Ebm Ab7sus2
One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong
Gb Bmaj7
What they call love is a risk
Gb Bmaj7
Cause you will always get hit
Gb Bmaj7
Out of nowhere by some wave
Ebm Ab7sus2
And end up on your own
[Chorus]
B Gb
The hole in the hull defied the crewâs attempts
Ebm Ab7sus2
To bail us out
B Gb
And flooded the engines and radio
Ebm Ab7sus2
And half buried bow
[Interlude]
Gb | Bmaj7 Gb |
| Bmaj7 Gb | Bmaj7 Ebm | Ab7sus2 - |
[Verse 2]
Gb Bmaj7
Your tongue is a rudder
Gb Bmaj7
It steers the whole ship
Gb Bmaj7
Sends your words past your lips
Ebm Ab7sus2
Keeps them safe behind your teeth
Gb Bmaj7
But the wrong words will strand you
Gb Bmaj7
Come off course while you sleep
Gb Bmaj7
Sweep your boat out to sea
Ebm Ab7sus2
Or dashed to bits on the reef
Gb Bmaj7
The vessel groans
Gb Bmaj7
The ocean pressures its frame
Gb Bmaj7
To the port I see the lighthouse
Ebm Ab7sus2
Through the sleet and the rain
Gb Bmaj7
And I wish for one more day to give my
Gb Bmaj7
Love and repay debts
Gb Bmaj7 Ebm Ab7sus2
But the morning finds our bodies washed up 30 miles west
[Chorus]
B Gb Ebm
They say that the captain stays fast with the ship
Ab7sus2
Through still and storm
B Gb
But this ain't the Dakota
And the water's cold
Ebm Ab7sus2
Won't have to fight for long
[Outro]
Gb
This story's old but it goes on and on
Bmaj7
Until we disappear
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed
Gb
While you were underneath
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains
Bmaj7
Sunk below the sea
I spoke the words but never gave a thought
Ebm
To what they all could mean
I know that this is what you want
Bmaj7
A funeral keeps both of us apart
You know that you are not alone
I need you like water in my lungs
Gb
This story's old but it goes on and on
Bmaj7
Until we disappear
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed
Gb
While you were underneath
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains
Bmaj7
Sunk below the sea
I spoke the words but never gave a thought
Ebm
To what they all could mean
I know that this is what you want
Bmaj7
A funeral keeps both of us apart
You know that you are not alone
Gb
I need you like water in my lungs
