G    Cadd9    Em7   B7sus4 
            
              G      Cadd9 
We sent out the SOS call          
         G           Cadd9 
It was a quater past four         
       G 
In the morning          
         Cadd9           Em7           B7sus4 
When the storm broke our second anchor line. 
 G              Cadd9 
Four months at sea.      
     G              Cadd9 
Four months of calm seas            
            G              Cadd9 
Only to be pounded in the shallows            
          Em7            B7sus4 
Off of the tip of Montauk Point. 
 
G              Cadd9 
They call them rogues.             
             G        Cadd9 
They travel fast and alone,     
     G            Cadd9  
One hundred foot faces               
               Em7        B7sus4 
Of God's good ocean gone wrong                
                G        Cadd9 
What they call love is a risk,                
             G          Cadd9 
Cause you will always get hit        
          G 
Out of nowhere          
        Cadd9        Em7        B7sus4 
By some wave and end up on your own. 
C               G                     B7sus4 
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts  
             Em7         
To bail us out. 
C               G 
And flooded the engines and radio 
Em7             B7sus4 
And half buried bow.      
 
       G           Cadd9 
Your tongue is a rudder.    
     G                Cadd9 
It steers the whole ship.            
            G               Cadd9 
Sends your words past your lips               
             Em7              B7sus4 
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.         
           G                Cadd9 
But the wrong words will strand you.          
          G                Cadd9 
Come off course while you sleep.            
           G           Cadd9 
Sweep your boat out to sea                 
                 Em7        B7sus4 
Or dashed it to bits on the reef. 
G          Cadd9 
The vessel groans           
           G             Cadd9 
The ocean pressures its frame.         
         G              Cadd9 
Off the port I see the lighthouse             
            Em7           B7sus4 
Through the sleet and the rain.            
            G            Cadd9 
And I wish for one more day             
          G              Cadd9 
To give my love and repay debts.         
         G                 Cadd9 
But the morning finds our bodies           
 
         Em7          B7sus4 
Washed up thirty miles west. 
C                 G 
They say that the captain                      
                     Em7 
Stays fast with the ship                    
                   B7sus4 
Through still and storm. 
C                  G 
But this ain't the Dakota.                  
                 Em7 
And the water is cold.                            
                          B7sus4 
We won't have to fight for long. 
 
             G 
This is the end. 
This story's old 
But it goes on and on           
           Cadd9 
Until we disappear. 
Calm me and let me taste  
The salt that you breathed                
                  G 
While you were underneath. 
I am the one who haunts your dreams        
                          C9     
f mountains sunk below the sea. 
I spoke the words but never  
                                     Em7 
Gave a thought to what they all could mean. 
I know that this is what you want.  
                           B7sus4 
A funeral keeps both of us apart. 
You know that you are not alone. 
                            G 
Need you like water in my lungs.
