[Verse 1]
i'm charting oceans for the Am7future, writing Fmaj7songs for all the Cwaves
i'll color in the Am7coastline and you'll Fmaj7fill in the blanCks
until my ink and Am7architecture Fmaj7soak through the Cpage
and my blueprints fall like Am7anchors, drowning Fmaj7depth with their Cweight.
and the veins above grow Am7taut with the Fmaj7falling Csaints,
the arteries like Am7ropes choking Fmaj7on their Cage,
and the submariner's Am7wife has forFmaj7got his Cname
'cause he's sunk himself aAm7way from the Fmaj7shores of Cgrace.
[Chorus]
 Am7   Fmaj7   C(x4)
 Am7   Fmaj7   C(x4)
[Verse 2]
the horizon makes a Am7fool out of Fmaj7my deCsign,
caught beneath the Am7stitch between Fmaj7the ocean and the Csky
where i haven't got a Am7single bottled Fmaj7note to Crise
where i haven't got a Am7single flare to Fmaj7spark a Csign
but i swear a saw a Am7sail carryFmaj7ing a Clight
a heat that comes and Am7drains these Fmaj7trenches Cdry
a rescue that would Am7drown my Fmaj7own deCvice--
and i think i see it Am7now without the Fmaj7salt in my Ceyes.
[Bridge]
'cause if i said that i could swim i'd be a Am7liaFmaj7r.C  
i'd be a Am7liaFmaj7r, i'd Cbe a Am7liaFmaj7r, i'd Cbe a Am7liaFmaj7rC  
i'd be a Am7liaFmaj7r, i'd Cbe a Am7liaFmaj7r, i'd Cbe a Am7liaFmaj7r, i'd Cbe a Am7liaFmaj7r…C  
[Chorus]
 Am7   Fmaj7   C(x4)
[Verse 3]
the seas rend into Am7orchards underFmaj7neath my Cfeet
the dialogue reAm7sounds and i'm Fmaj7playing the Clead
my eyes will burn and Am7oh! my Fmaj7throat will Cbleed
for i will sing the Am7beauty Fmaj7of this Cscene
because you call me Am7perfect and i Fmaj7call You Cblind
'cause the picture and the Am7definition Fmaj7don't aClign
but Your saliva is the Am7tie by which the Fmaj7pages Cbind
and Your breath the text that Am7lets our justice Fmaj7redefCine.
[Chorus]
 Am7   Fmaj7   C(x4)
[Outro]
they call it a reAm7vival, but it's Fmaj7more like a Cbirth
when the marrow in my Am7bones begins to Fmaj7mix with the Cearth
and the water in my Am7lungs mixes as Fmaj7mud with the Cdirt
and "hallelujah!" is reAm7corded as my Fmaj7first spoken Cword.

Am7

Fmaj7

[Verse 1]

Am7 Fmaj7 C

i'm charting oceans for the future, writing songs for all the waves

Am7 Fmaj7 C

i'll color in the coastline and you'll fill in the blanks

Am7 Fmaj7 C

until my ink and architecture soak through the page

Am7 Fmaj7 C

and my blueprints fall like anchors, drowning depth with their weight.

Am7 Fmaj7 C

and the veins above grow taut with the falling saints,

Am7 Fmaj7 C

the arteries like ropes choking on their age,

Am7 Fmaj7 C

and the submariner's wife has forgot his name

Am7 Fmaj7 C

'cause he's sunk himself away from the shores of grace.

[Chorus]

Am7 Fmaj7 C

(x4)

Am7 Fmaj7 C

(x4)

[Verse 2]

Am7 Fmaj7 C

the horizon makes a fool out of my design,

Am7 Fmaj7 C

caught beneath the stitch between the ocean and the sky

Am7 Fmaj7 C

where i haven't got a single bottled note to rise

Am7 Fmaj7 C

where i haven't got a single flare to spark a sign

Am7 Fmaj7 C

but i swear a saw a sail carrying a light

Am7 Fmaj7 C

a heat that comes and drains these trenches dry

Am7 Fmaj7 C

a rescue that would drown my own device--

Am7 Fmaj7 C

and i think i see it now without the salt in my eyes.

[Bridge]

Am7 Fmaj7 C

'cause if i said that i could swim i'd be a liar.

Am7 Fmaj7 C Am7 Fmaj7 C Am7 Fmaj7 C

i'd be a liar, i'd be a liar, i'd be a liar

Am7 Fmaj7 C Am7 Fmaj7 C Am7 Fmaj7 C Am7 Fmaj7 C

i'd be a liar, i'd be a liar, i'd be a liar, i'd be a liar…

[Chorus]

Am7 Fmaj7 C

(x4)

[Verse 3]

Am7 Fmaj7 C

the seas rend into orchards underneath my feet

Am7 Fmaj7 C

the dialogue resounds and i'm playing the lead

Am7 Fmaj7 C

my eyes will burn and oh! my throat will bleed

Am7 Fmaj7 C

for i will sing the beauty of this scene

Am7 Fmaj7 C

because you call me perfect and i call You blind

Am7 Fmaj7 C

'cause the picture and the definition don't align

Am7 Fmaj7 C

but Your saliva is the tie by which the pages bind

Am7 Fmaj7 C

and Your breath the text that lets our justice redefine.

[Chorus]

Am7 Fmaj7 C

(x4)

[Outro]

Am7 Fmaj7 C

they call it a revival, but it's more like a birth

Am7 Fmaj7 C

when the marrow in my bones begins to mix with the earth

Am7 Fmaj7 C

and the water in my lungs mixes as mud with the dirt

Am7 Fmaj7 C

and "hallelujah!" is recorded as my first spoken word.
