I've gotta keep the calm before the storm

Don't let me drown, it gets harder
              Dm            Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
      Am               C
As I fall down to my knees

So pull me up from down below

’Cause I'm underneath the undertow
     Dm              Bb       F   Fmaj7
Come dry me off and hold me close
