Verse

C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
We sent out the SOS call
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
It was a quater past four
C C
In the morning
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Am Am Am7 Am7
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Four months at sea.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Four months of calm seas
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Only to be pounded in the shallows
Am Am Am7 Am7
Off of the tip of Montauk Point.


C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
They call them rogues.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
They travel fast and alone,
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
One hundred foot faces
Am Am Am7 Am7
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
What they call love is a risk,
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Cause you will always get hit
C C
Out of nowhere
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Am Am Am7 Am7
By some wave and end up on your own.


Chorus

F F C C
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
Am Am Am7 Am7
To bail us out.
F F C C
And flooded the engines and radio
Am Am Am7 Am7
And half buried bow.


Verse

C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Your tongue is a rudder.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
It steers the whole ship.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Sends your words past your lips
Am Am Am7 Am7
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
But the wrong words will strand you.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Come off course while you sleep.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Sweep your boat out to sea
Am Am Am7 Am7
Or dashed it to bits on the reef.


C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
The vessel groans
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
The ocean pressures its frame.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Off the port I see the lighthouse
Am Am Am7 Am7
Through the sleet and the rain.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
And I wish for one more day
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
To give my love and repay debts.
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
But the morning finds our bodies
Am Am Am7 Am7
Washed up thirty miles west.


Chorus

F F C C
They say that the captain
Am Am
Stays fast with the ship
Am7 Am7
Through still and storm.
F F C C
But this ain't the Dakota.
Am Am
And the water is cold.
Am7 Am7
We won't have to fight for long.



Ending

C C
This is the end.

This story's old

But it goes on and on
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Until we disappear.

Calm me and let me taste

The salt that you breathed
C C
While you were underneath.

I am the one who haunts your dreams
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Of mountains sunk below the sea.

I spoke the words but never
Am Am
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.

I know that this is what you want.
Am7 Am7
A A funeral keeps both of us apart.

You know that you are not alone.
C C
Need you like water in my lungs.
