[Intro]
Am Dm
AmWe were free, we were brave
We thought Providence our slave
DmTill the sea rose to fight
Sent us hurling to our grave
AmWe cried out as we drowned
But our voices made no sound
DmIn the waves...
AmNot a truce nor a bribe
Could help us in that tide
DmAll our faith, all our pride
Our strength was cast aside
AmWe were lost to the sea
Sunk and buried underneath
FBut I...I survivEmed
AmAnd it came without a warning
Em(It came without a warning)
AmSwept upon us in the morning
F(Swept upon us in the morning)
AmIn the middle of our laughteEmr
When allF was well...
That unsGpeakable disaster fell
Am Dm Am F Em
AmOh, we were kings, we were kin
Fought as brothers till the end
DmWe were drunk, we were hazed
We threw caution to the wind
AmWe were gods, so we thought
But we learned who we were then
FOnly men! Only mEmen...
AmPay attention to the warning
Em(So pay attention to the warning)
AmIf you want to see the morning
F(If you want to see the morning)
AmIn the middle of our laughteEmr
When allF was well...
That unsGpeakable disaster
AmCrashed into our anchor Em
AmAnd sent us falling to our MakerF
AmSo heed the words of one who lived tEmo
FTell the tale
GLearn a lesson from the men who failed
C F Am G F
CAnd I don't know why I survived F
I too, deserve to diAme
GProvidence has tFurned His eye
CAnd grace has chosen me to sFtay
To live another daAmy
Oh, Gto give this heart a word to wrFite
COf peace (Oh!) that reached through the debFris
Of that wreckage I call, Am"me"
AndG brought me safely through the nFight
COf love (Oh!) stronger than the flFood
That fills my heart like bloAmod
ThGat keeps me anchored to the liFght
CListen to what I have foFund (Listen to what I have found)
When my world ran agrouAmnd
OGh, grace was still a greater tiFde
CAnd all that I have left to saFy (All that I have left to say)
To those who've lost their wAmay
GOh, grace can even save yFour shipwrecked life!
C F Am G F
CListen to what I have foFund
