Key: G
Introduction:
G D Em
The ship was sinking we were drinking, singing one last song,
C
Casting our gold into the ocean.
G D Em
You grabbed a bucket, started screaming, "Come on, come on",
C
Trying to slow the downward motion.
G D Em
Back in the kingdom, we were kings and queens and Oh, so strong
C
That God himself could not contain us.
G D Em
We never thought we'd be the shorter end of sword and gun.
C
Now god himself could never save us.
G D Em
Waves of silver, waves of gold
C
Are coming down to take me,
G D Em
To separate my body from my soul
C
And Jesus either leaves or takes me.
G D Em
Hopes of heaven, fears of hell
C
And what's the chance I'll make it.
G D Em
When all my other plans have failed,
C
And I've tried so hard to fake it.
We started sinking, drinking water from the open sea
