Verse
G Cmaj7
We sent out the SOS call
G Cmaj7
It was a quater past four
G
In the morning
Cmaj7 Em Em7
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
G Cmaj7
Four months at sea.
G Cmaj7
Four months of calm seas
G Cmaj7
Only to be pounded in the shallows
Em Em7
Off of the tip of Montauk Point.
G Cmaj7
They call them rogues.
G Cmaj7
They travel fast and alone,
G Cmaj7
One hundred foot faces
Em Em7
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
G Cmaj7
What they call love is a risk,
G Cmaj7
Cause you will always get hit
G
Out of nowhere
Cmaj7 Em Em7
By some wave and end up on your own.
Chorus
C G
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
Em Em7
To bail us out.
C G
And flooded the engines and radio
Em Em7
And half buried bow.
Verse
G Cmaj7
Your tongue is a rudder.
G Cmaj7
It steers the whole ship.
G Cmaj7
Sends your words past your lips
Em Em7
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
G Cmaj7
But the wrong words will strand you.

Come off course while you sleep.
G Cmaj7
Sweep your boat out to sea
Em Em7
Or dashed it to bits on the reef.
G Cmaj7
The vessel groans
G Cmaj7
The ocean pressures its frame.
G Cmaj7
Off the port I see the lighthouse
Em Em7
Through the sleet and the rain.
G Cmaj7
And I wish for one more day
G Cmaj7
To give my love and repay debts.
G Cmaj7
But the morning finds our bodies
Em Em7
Washed up thirty miles west.
Chorus
C G
They say that the captain
Em
Stays fast with the ship
Em7
Through still and storm.
C G
But this ain't the Dakota.
Em
And the water is cold.
Em7
We won't have to fight for long.
Ending
G
This is the end.
This story's old
But it goes on and on
Cmaj7
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
Cmaj7
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
I spoke the words but never
Em
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
I know that this is what you want.
Em7
A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You know that you are not alone.
G
Need you like water in my lungs.
