Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
Bm7 G D Dmaj7
[Verse 1]
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
I've gotta keep the calm before the storm
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
I don't want less, I don't want more
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
Must bar the windows and the doors
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
To keep me safe, to keep me warm
[Verse 2]
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
Yeah my life is what I'm fighting for
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
And my voice becomes the driving force
Bm7 Gsus2 D
I won't let this pull me overboard
[Chorus 1]
Bm G
God, keep my head above water
D A
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
Bm G
I'll meet you there at the altar
D A
As I fall down to my knees
Bm G
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
D A
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
[Verse 3]
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
So pull me up from down below
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Bm7 Gsus2 D Dmaj7
Come dry me off and hold me close
Bm7 Gsus2 D
I need you now I need you most
[Chorus 2]
Bm G
God, keep my head above water
D A
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
Bm G
I'll meet you there at the altar
D A
As I fall down to my knees
Bm G
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
D A
(Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown)
Bm G
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
D
And keep my head above water
(Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown)
A
Above water
[Bridge]
G A Bm D
And I can't see in the stormy weather
G A Bm D
I can't seem to keep it all together
G A Bm D
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
G A
And I can't breathe
[Chorus 3]
Bm G
God, keep my head above water
D A
I lose my breath at the bottom
Bm G
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
D A
I'm too young to fall asleep
Bm G
God, keep my head above water
D A
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
Bm G
I'll meet you there at the altar
D A
As I fall down to my knees
Bm G
Don't let me drow-ow-own
D A
Don't let me drow-ow-own
(Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown)
Bm G
Don't let me drow-ow-own
D
And keep my head above water
(Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown)
A
Above water
