Intro: F#-B-F#-B-F#-B-Ebm-G#m-


Verse 1:
                F#  B
We sent out the SOS call
         F#           B
It was a quarter past four 
       F#
In the morning
          B
When the storm broke our 
Ebm           G#m
second anchor line
F#               B
  Four months at sea
     F#             B
Four months of calm seas
           F#
Only to be pounded 
       B
in the shallows
           Ebm       G#m
Off of the tip of Montauk Point


Verse 2:
F#                     B
  They call them rogues
            F#        B
They travel fast and alone
F#               B
One hundred foot faces
              Ebm        G#m
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
              F#          B
What they call  love is a risk
               F#         B
Cause you will always get hit
       F#
Out of nowhere 
        B            Ebm        G#m
By some wave and end up on your own


Chorus 1:
B                 F#/Bb
  The hole in the hull defied 
the crews attempts 
Ebm              G#m
   To bail us out
B                 F#/Bb
  And flooded the engines and 
     Ebm                  G#m
radio  And half buried bow


Post Chorus: F#-B-F#-B-F#-B-Ebm-G#m-


Verse 3:
     F#          B
Your tongue is a rudder
    F#              B
It steers the whole ship
           F#              B
Sends your words past your lips
              Ebm              G#m
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth
        F#                B
But the wrong words will strand you
         F#                B
Come off course while you sleep
           F#          B
Sweep your boat out to sea
                Ebm         G#m
Or dashed it to bits on the reef


Verse 4:
F#                 B
  The vessel groans
          F#            B
The ocean pressures its frame
        F#             B
Off the port I see the lighthouse
             Ebm          G#m
Through the sleet and the rain
              F#         B
And I wish for  one more day 
           F#             B
To give my love and repay debts
        F#                B
But the morning finds our bodies
          Ebm          G#m
Washed up thirty miles west


Chorus 2:
B                   F#
  They say that the captain 
                    Ebm
Stays fast with the ship 
                       G#m
Through still and storm
B                      F#
  But this ain't the Dakota
                     Ebm
And the water is cold
                               G#m
We won't have to fight for long


Outro:
            F#
This is the end
This story's old
But it goes on and on 
              B
Until we disappear
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath
F#
  I am the one who 
haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk 
below the sea
B
  I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what 
they all could mean.
Ebm
   I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart
B
  You know that you are not alone
Need you like water in my lungs
            F#
This is the end
This story's old
But it goes on and on 
              B
Until we disappear
Calm me and let me taste
The salt that you breathed
While you were underneath
F#
  I am the one who 
haunts your dreams
Of mountains sunk 
below the sea
B
  I spoke the words but never
Gave a thought to what 
they all could mean.
Ebm
   I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart
B
  You know that you are not alone
Need you like water in my lungs
            F#(hold)
Thsi is the end
