Verse Cmaj7 We sent out the SOS call Cmaj7 It was a quater past four G In the morning Em7 When the storm broke our second anchor line. Cmaj7 Four months at sea. Cmaj7 Four months of calm seas Cmaj7 Only to be pounded in the shallows Em7 Off of the tip of Montauk Point. Cmaj7 They call them rogues. Cmaj7 They travel fast and alone, Cmaj7 One hundred foot faces Em7 Of God's good ocean gone wrong Cmaj7 What they call love is a risk, Cmaj7 Cause you will always get hit G Out of nowhere Em7 By some wave and end up on your own. Chorus G The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts Em7 To bail us out. G And flooded the engines and radio Em7 And half buried bow. Verse Cmaj7 Your tongue is a rudder. Cmaj7 It steers the whole ship. Cmaj7 Sends your words past your lips Em7 Or keeps them safe behind your teeth. Cmaj7 But the wrong words will strand you. Cmaj7 Come off course while you sleep. Cmaj7 Sweep your boat out to sea Em7 Or dashed it to bits on the reef. Cmaj7 The vessel groans Cmaj7 The ocean pressures its frame. Cmaj7 Off the port I see the lighthouse Em7 Through the sleet and the rain. Cmaj7 And I wish for one more day Cmaj7 To give my love and repay debts. Cmaj7 But the morning finds our bodies Em7 Washed up thirty miles west. Chorus G They say that the captain Em Stays fast with the ship Em7 Through still and storm. G But this ain't the Dakota. Em And the water is cold. Em7 We won't have to fight for long. Ending G This is the end. This story's old But it goes on and on Cmaj7 Until we disappear. Calm me and let me taste The salt that you breathed G While you were underneath. I am the one who haunts your dreams Cmaj7 Of mountains sunk below the sea. I spoke the words but never Em Gave a thought to what they all could mean. I know that this is what you want. Em7 A funeral keeps both of us apart. You know that you are not alone. G
