G Bm Em D
[Verse]
G Bm Em
The ship was sinking; we were drinking, singing one last song,
D
Casting our gold into the ocean.
G Bm Em
You grabbed a bucket, started screaming, "Come on, come on",
D
Trying to slow the downward motion.
C D Em
Back in the kingdom, we were kings and queens and Oh, so strong
Asus4
That God himself could not contain us.
C D Em
We never thought we'd be the shorter end of sword and gun.
Asus4
Now god himself can never save us.
[Chorus]
C D Em
Waves of silver, waves of gold
G
Are coming down to take me,
C D Em
Separate my body from my soul
Asus4
And Jesus either leaves or takes me.
C D Em
Hopes of heaven, fears of hell
G
and what's the chance I'll make it.
C D Em
When all my other plans have failed,
Asus4
And I have tried so hard to fake it.
[Verse]
G Bm Em
We started sinking, drinking water from the open sea
D
Losing our bodies to the ocean.
G Bm Em
You grabbed my hand and started screaming, "rescue me"
D
Together fight the downward motion.
G D Em
Back in the kingdom, we were kings and queens and Oh, so strong
Asus4
That god himself just had to show us.
G D Em
We never thought we'd be the colder side of land and sea
Asus4
But he's the only one who knows us.
[Chorus]
C D Em
Waves of silver, waves of gold
G
Are coming down to take me,
C D Em
Separate my body from my soul
Asus4
And Jesus either leaves or takes me.
C D Em
Hopes of heaven, fears of hell
G
and what's the chance I'll make it.
C D Em
When all my other plans have failed,
Asus4
And I have tried so hard to fake it.
[Outro]
G D Em C
I tried so hard to fake it.
