[Intro]
Db  Eb  Ab  Fm
[Verse 1]
DbDriftin' beneath the horEbizon
BAbody is weak but I'm trFmyin'
To make it to shDbore, but I'm fallin' shEbort
I need You mFmore
WaDbve after wave, I've been siEbnkin'
So unAbto Your promise I'm cliFmngin'
You say that I'm strDbong, to You I beEblong
Keep holdin' Fmon
[Chorus]
You are my DbanchorEb  
So steAbady me, steady me nFmow
You are my aDbnchorEb  
You're keeAbpin' my feet on the grFmound
In anDbgry oceans You've nEbever broken through
EvAbery wave of the stFmorm
You are my DbanchoEbr
So stFmeady me, steEbady me nDbow
Come stFmeady me, stEbeady me nAbow
[Verse 2]
DbWhen I get tired of fEbindin'
AbAll of the fears I've been hFmidin'
You gave me a bDbreath and tell me to rEbest
You never Fmleft
I can, I can, I can hear You Dbcallin' me by name
Pullin' me Ebup from under my shame
Never be the Absame
I can face anything, so Ablet it rain
[Chorus]
You are my DbanchorEb  
So steAbady me, steady me nFmow
You are my aDbnchorEb

I doAbn't want to do this aFmlone
DbDon't let gEbo
AbI know I'll drown on my oFmwn
[Chorus]
