[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em7 A7sus4 (just one down stroke and allow to ring)

[Verse 1]
                G      Cadd9
We sent out the S.O.S. call
         G            Cadd9       G
It was a quarter past four in the morning
         Cadd9           Em7           A7sus4
When the storm broke our second anchor line
G                Cadd9
  Four months at sea
     G              Cadd9
Four months of calm seas
      G              Cadd9            Em7           A7sus4
To be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point

G             Cadd9               G         Cadd9
They call 'em rogues, they travel fast and alone
    G            Cadd9               Em7        A7sus4
One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong
               G         Cadd9
What they call love is a risk
               G          Cadd9
Cause you will always get hit
       G               Cadd9
Out of nowhere by some wave
        Em7        A7sus4
And end up on your own


[Chorus 1]
C                 G
  The hole in the hull defied the crew’s attempts
Em             A7sus4
  To bail us out
C                 G
  And flooded the engines and radio
Em                  A7sus4
  And half-buried bow

[Bridge]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em7 A7sus4

[Verse 2]
     G           Cadd9
Your tongue is a rudder
   G                Cadd9
It steers the whole ship
           G               Cadd9
Sends your words past your lips
           Em7             A7sus4
Keeps them safe behind your teeth
        G                Cadd9
But the wrong words will strand you
         G                Cadd9
Come off course while you sleep
           G           Cadd9
Sweep your boat out to sea
             Em7         A7sus4
Or dashed to bits on the reef

G            Cadd9
  The vessel groans
          G             Cadd9
The ocean pressures its frame
       G              Cadd9
To the port I see the lighthouse
            Em7           A7sus4
Through the sleet and the rain
              G         Cadd9
And I wish for one more day to give my
G              Cadd9
Love and repay debts
        G                 Cadd9            Em7      A7sus4
But the morning finds our bodies washed up 30 miles west


[Chorus 2]
C                   G                           Em
  They say that the captain stays fast with the ship
                      A7sus4
  Through still and storm
C                      G
  But this ain't the Dakota
                   Em
  And the water's cold
                            A7sus4
  Won't have to fight for long


[Outro]
             G
(This is the end)

This story's old but it goes on and on
              Cadd9
Until we disappear

Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed
                    G
While you were underneath

I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains
               Cadd9
Sunk below the sea

I spoke the words but never gave a thought
                       Em7
To what they all could mean

I know that this is what you want

A funeral keeps both of us apart
Cadd9
 You know that you are not alone
                               G
I need you like water in my lungs


(This is the end)

This story's old but it goes on and on
              Cadd9
Until we disappear

Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed
                    G
While you were underneath

I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains
               Cadd9
Sunk below the sea

I spoke the words but never gave a thought
                       Em7
To what they all could mean

I know that this is what you want

A funeral keeps both of us apart
Cadd9
 You know that you are not alone
                               G
I need you like water in my lungs
