[Intro]
Dm7 Bb F
[Verse 1]
C/F Dm7 Bb F
I've gotta keep the calm before the storm
C/F Dm7 F
I don't want less, I don't want more
C/F Dm7 Bb F
Must bar the windows and the doors
C/F Dm7 F
To keep me safe, to keep me warm
C/F Dm7 Bb F
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
C/F Dm7 Bb F
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
C/F Dm7 Bb F
And my voice becomes the driving force
C/F Dm7 Bb F
I won't let this pull me overboard
[Chorus]
N.C. Dm7 Bb
God, keep my head above water
F C
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
Dm Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
F C
As I fall down to my knees
Dm Bb
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
F C
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
[Verse]
C/F Dm7 Bb F
So pull me up from down below
C/F Dm7 Bb F
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
C/F Dm7 Bb F
Come dry me off and hold me close
C/F Dm7 Bb F
I need you now, I need you most
[Chorus]
N.C. Dm7 Bb
God, keep my head above water
F C
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
Dm Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
F C
As I fall down to my knees
Dm Bb
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
F C
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
Dm Bb
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
F C
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown(keep my head above water, above water)
[Bridge]
Bb C Dm Fsus F
And I, I can't see in the stormy weather
Bb C7/Bb Dm/A Fsus F
I can't seem to keep it all together
Bb C Dm Fsus F
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
Bb C
And I can't breathe
[Refrain]
N.C.
God, keep my head above water
N.C.
I lose my breath at the bottom
N.C.
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
F C
I'm too young to fall asleep
[Chorus]
Dm7 Bb
God, keep my head above water
F C
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
Dm Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
F C
As I fall down to my knees
[Outro]
Dm Bb
Don't let me drown (don't let me, don't let me drown)
F C
Don't let me drown (don't let me, don't let me drown)
Dm Bb
Don't let me drown (don't let me, don't let me drown)
F C
Keep my head above water, above water
