Tom: C
[Intro] Am Dm
Am
We were free, we were brave, We thought Providence our slave
Dm
Till the sea rose to fight, Sent us hurling to our grave
Am
We cried out as we drowned, But our voices made no sound
Dm
In the waves
Am
Not a truce nor a bribe, Could help us in that tide
Dm
All our faith, all our pride, Our strength was cast aside
Am
We were lost to the sea, Sunk and buried underneath
F Em
But I...I survived
Am
And it came without a warning
Em
(It came without a warning)
Am
Swept upon us in the morning
F
(Swept upon us in the morning)
Am Em
In the middle of our laughter
F
When all was well
G
That unspeakable disaster fell
( Am Dm Am F Em )
Am
Oh, we were kings, we were kin, Fought as brothers till the end
Dm
We were drunk, we were hazed, We threw caution to the wind
Am
We were gods, so we thought, But we learned who we were then
F Em
Only men! Only men
Am
Pay attention to the warning
Em
(So pay attention to the warning)
Am
If you want to see the morning
F
(If you want to see the morning)
Am Em
In the middle of our laughter
F
When all was well
G
That unspeakable disaster
Am Em
Crashed into our anchor
Am F
And sent us falling to our Maker
Am Em
So heed the words of one who lived to
F
Tell the tale
G
Learn a lesson from the men who failed
( C F Am G F )
C F
And I don't know why I survived
Am
I too, deserve to die
G F
Providence has turned His eye
C F
And grace has chosen me to stay
Am
To live another day
G F
Oh, to give this heart a word to write
C F
Of peace (Oh!) that reached through the debris
Am
Of that wreckage I call, "me"
G F
And brought me safely through the night
C F
Of love (Oh!) stronger than the flood
Am
That fills my heart like blood
G F
That keeps me anchored to the light
C F
Listen to what I have found (Listen to what I have found)
Am
When my world ran aground
G F
Oh, grace was still a greater tide
C F
And all that I have left to say (All that I have left to say)
Am
To those who've lost their way
G F
Oh, grace can even save your shipwrecked life!
( C F Am G F )
C F
Listen to what I have found (Listen to what I have found)
Am
When my world ran aground
G F
Oh, grace was still a greater tide
C F
And all that I have left to say (All that I have left to say)
Am
To those who've lost their way
G F
Oh my God, can even save your shipwrecked life!
