Verse

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


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


Chorus

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


Verse

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


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


Chorus

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



Ending

            C
This is the end.

This story's old

But it goes on and on 
         Fmaj7
Until we disappear.

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

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

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

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

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