Verse 1:
F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m
You see my wandering heart inside my chest

You know my anxious thoughts and wish me rest.

We know these ravenous roads surround
F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m
Every ear is ringing with the looming sound

and I wait for the waters to wash over me

I get a feeling that we’ll make it out alive

Too often we’re wishing the night a - way
F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m
but without it we couldn’t define the day
F#F# A#mA#m C#/F G#G#
I am sitting in silence atop stormiest seas
F#F# A#mA#m C#/F G#G#
and I wait for the waters to wash over me
Chorus:
C#C# F#F#
You see our struggles and our sorrow
A#mA#m
I am already on my knees
F#F#
I am an echo of the hero
C#C#
who faced the fires before me
F#F#
He is the arbiter of comfort
A#mA#m
making his place in the unknown

this is the pathway to his home

You know my anxious thoughts and wish me rest.
F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m
when we are crashing as waves along the shore
F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m F#F# C#C# D#mD#m A#mA#m
we’re grasping the God who broke before
F#F# A#mA#m C#/F G#G#
Can we stand as a people, finding peace with our lot?
F#F# A#mA#m C#/F G#G#
Can we suffer in stillness, believing we’re bought?
