Verse

                B   Emaj7
We sent out the SOS call
         B           Emaj7
It was a quater past four 
       B
In the morning
         Emaj7           G#m            G#m7
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
B              Emaj7
Four months at sea.
     B              Emaj7
Four months of calm seas
           B              Emaj7
Only to be pounded in the shallows
           G#m             G#m7
Off of the tip of Montauk Point.


B              Emaj7
They call them rogues.
            B        Emaj7
They travel fast and alone,
    B            Emaj7 
One hundred foot faces
              G#m         G#m7
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
               B         Emaj7
What they call love is a risk,
               B          Emaj7
Cause you will always get hit
       B
Out of nowhere 
        Emaj7        G#m         G#m7
By some wave and end up on your own.


Chorus

E               B   
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts 
G#m         G#m7
To bail us out.
E               B
And flooded the engines and radio
G#m              G#m7
And half buried bow.


Verse

     B           Emaj7
Your tongue is a rudder.
   B                Emaj7
It steers the whole ship.
           B               Emaj7
Sends your words past your lips
              G#m               G#m7
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
        B                Emaj7
But the wrong words will strand you.
         B                Emaj7
Come off course while you sleep.
           B           Emaj7
Sweep your boat out to sea
                G#m          G#m7
Or dashed it to bits on the reef.


B          Emaj7
The vessel groans
          B             Emaj7
The ocean pressures its frame.
        B              Emaj7
Off the port I see the lighthouse
            G#m            G#m7
Through the sleet and the rain.
           B            Emaj7
And I wish for one more day 
           B              Emaj7
To give my love and repay debts.
        B                 Emaj7
But the morning finds our bodies
          G#m           G#m7
Washed up thirty miles west.


Chorus

E                 B
They say that the captain 
                    G#m
Stays fast with the ship 
                  G#m7
Through still and storm.
E                  B
But this ain't the Dakota.
                 G#m
And the water is cold.
                           G#m7
We won't have to fight for long.



Ending

            B
This is the end.

This story's old

But it goes on and on 
         Emaj7
Until we disappear.

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

I am the one who haunts your dreams
                            Emaj7
Of mountains sunk below the sea.

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

I know that this is what you want.
                           G#m7
A funeral keeps both of us apart.

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