Lyrics
I've gotta (Dm7)keep the calm (Bbsus2)before the (F5)storm.
I (Dm7)don't want less, I (Bbsus2)don't want (F5)more.
Must (Dm7)bar the windows (Bbsus2)and the (F5)doors
to (Dm7)keep me safe, to (Bbsus2)keep me (F5)warm.
Yeah, my (Dm7)life is what I'm (Bbsus2)fighting (F)for.
'cause Can't (Dm7)part the sea, can't (Bbsus2)reach the (F)shore.
And my (Dm7)voice becomes the (Bbsus2)driving (F)force.
I won't (Dm7)let this pull me (Bbsus2)(F)overboard.
God, keep my (Dm)head above water,
don't let me (F)drown;
it gets harder.
I'll meet You (Dm)there at the altar as I fall down to my knees.
Don't let me drown, drown, (Bbsus2)drown.
Don't let me, (F)don't let me,
don't let me (C)drown.
So, (Dm7)pull me up from (Bbsus2)down (F)below,
'cause I'm (Dm7)underneath the (Bbsus2)(F)undertow.
And Come (Dm7)dry me off and (Bbsus2)hold me (F)close.
I I (Dm7)need You now, I (Bbsus2)need You (F)most.
God, keep my (Dm)head above water,
don't let me (F)drown;
it gets harder.
I'll meet You (Dm)there at the altar as I fall down to my knees.
Don't let me drown, drown, (Bbsus2)drown.
Don't let me, (F)don't let me,
don't let me (C)drown.
So, (Dm)drown, drown, (Bb)drown.
Don't let me, (F)don't let me,
don't let me drown.
(C)Don't let me (Dm)drown, drown, (Bb)drown.
Don't let me, (F)don't let me,
don't let me drown.
(C)And (Bb)I (C)can't (Dm)see in the (Fsus)stormy (F)weather.
(Bb)I (C)can't (F)seem to keep it (Fsus)all (F)together.
And (Bb)I can't (C)swim the ocean like (Fsus)this (F)forever.
And (Bb)I (Dm)can't (C)breathe.
God, keep my (Dm)head above water;
I lose my (C)breath at the bottom.
Come rescue (Dm)me;
I'll be waiting.
