G C7M C9 C7M
We sent out the SOS call
G C7M C9
It was a quarter past four
C7M G
In the morning
C7M C9 C7M Em A72
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
G C7M C9
Four months at sea.
C7M G C7M
Four months of calm seas
C9 C7M G C7M
to be pounded in the shallows
C9 C7M Em A72
Off the tip of Montauk Point.
G C7M
They call them rogues.
C9 C7M G C7M C9 C7M
They travel fast and alone,
G C7M
One hundred foot faces
C9 C7M Em A72
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
G C7M
What they call love is a risk,
C9 C7M G C7M
'Cause you will always get hit
C9 C7M G
Out of nowhere
C7M C9 C7M Em A72
By some wave and end up on your own.
C G
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
Em A72
To bail us out.
C G
But it flooded the engines and radio
Em A72
half buried bow.
G C7M C9 C7M
Your tongue is a rudder.
G C7M
It steers the whole ship.
C9 C7M G C7M C9
Sends your words past your lips
C7M Em A72
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
G C7M
But the wrong words will strand you.
C9 C7M G C7M
Come off course while you sleep.
C9 C7M G C7M
Sweep your boat out to sea
C9 C7M Em A72
Or dashed to bits on the reef.
G C7M
The vessel groans
C9 C7M G C7M C9 C7M
The oc - ean pressures its frame.
G C7M
To the port I see the lighthouse
C9 C7M Em A72
Through the sleet and the rain.
G C7M
And I wish for one more day
G C7M C9 C7M
To give my love and repay debts.
G C7M
But the morning finds our bodies
C9 C7M Em A72
Washed up thirty miles west.
C G
They say that the captain
Em
Stays fast with the ship
A72
Through still and storm.
C G
But this ain't the Dakota.
Em
And the water is cold.
A72
We won't have to fight for long.
G
This story's old
But it goes on and on
C7M
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
G
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
C7M
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Em
I know that this is what you want.
A funeral keeps both of us apart.
A72
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
G
This story's old
But it goes on and on
C7M
Until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste
G
I am the one who haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk below the sea.
C7M
I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what they all could mean.
Em
I know that this is what you want.
A funeral keeps both of us apart.
A72
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
G
This is the end.
