A  E  F#m    D  A  Bm
D  E  F#m    D  Esus4/B  A


[Verse 1]
                  A         E          F#mWhen holding your breath is safer than breathing
             D     A           BmWhen letting go is braver than keeping
     D        E             F#mWhen innocent words turn to lies
        D             Esus4/B      AAnd you can't hide by closing your eyes


[Verse 2]
     A       E             F#mWhen pain is all that they offer
       D             A         BmLike a kiss from the lips of a monster
             D            E            F#mYou know the famine so well, but never met the feast
     D           Esus4/B    EWhen home is the belly of a beast


[Chorus]
    D                 F#mThe ocean is wild and over your head
        D      D/C#         BmAnd the boat beneath you is sinking
           D             E             F#mDon't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have
           Bm                             Bm/ASo say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight
    E7                          ESurely someone will reach out a hand
    D          E             AAnd show you a safe place to land


[Verse 3]
     A          E         F#mOh, imagine yourself in a building
      D             D/C#          BmUp in flames, being told to stand still
    D             E             F#mThe window's wide open, this is leap is on faith
          D                                  EYou don't know who will catch you, but maybe somebody will


[Chorus]
    D                 F#mThe ocean is wild and over your head
        D      D/C#         BmAnd the boat beneath you is sinking
           D             E             F#mDon't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have
           Bm                             Bm/ASo say the Lord's Prayer twice, hold your babies tight
    E7                          ESurely someone will reach out a hand
    D          E             AAnd show you a safe place to land
