[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
We sent out the [C]SOS [F]call
It was a [C]quarter past [F]4 in the m[C]orning
When the [F]storm broke
our [Am]second anchor line
[C]Four months at sea[F]
4 [C]months of calm [F]seas to be [C]pounded
In the [F]shallows off the [Am]tip of montauk point
[C]They call them rog[F]ues
they travel [C]fast and a[F]lone
One [C]hundred foot [F]faces
of God's good [Am]ocean gone wrong
What they [C]call love is a [F]risk
Cause you will [C]always get
[F]hit out of no[C]where by some [F]wave and end
[Am]up on your own

[Chorus 1]
[F]The hole in the hul[C]l
defied the crews [Am]attempts
to bail us out
[F]And flooded the eng[C]ines and radio
[Am]and half buried bow

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
Your [C]tongue is a [F]rudder
It [C]steers the whole [F]ships
sends your [C]words past your [F]lips
Or keeps them [Am]safe behind your teeth
But the [C]wrong words will [F]strand you
Come off [C]course while you [F]sleep
Sweep your [C]boat out to [F]sea
or dashed to [Am]bits on the reefs
[C]The vessel gro[F]ans
the ocean [C]pressures its [F]frame
To the [C]port I see the [F]lighthouse
through the [Am]sleet and the rain
And I wished [C]for one more [F]day
to give my [C]love and repay [F]debts
But the [C]morning finds our [F]bodies
washed up [Am]thirty miles west

[Chorus 2]
[F]They say that the cap[C]tain
stays fast with the [Am]ship
through still and storm
[F]But this ain't the Dakot[C]a
and the water is [Am]cold
We won't have to fight for long

[Bridge 1]
(This is the [C]end)
This story's old but it goes
on and on until we disappear
[F]Calm me and let me taste the
salt you breathed while you were underneath
[C]I am the one who haunts your
dreams of mountains sunk below the sea
[F]I spoke the words but never
gave a thought to what they all could mean
[Am]I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart
[F]You know that you are not alone

[Bridge 2]
Need you like water in my lungs
[C]
This story's old but it goes
on and on until we disappear
[F]Calm me and let me taste the
salt you breathed while you were underneath
[C]I am the one who haunts your
dreams of mountains sunk below the sea
[F]I spoke the words but never
gave a thought to what they all could mean
[Am]I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart
[F]You know that you are not alone
Need you like water in my [C]lungs
