Dm                        Bb           F
I've gotta keep the calm before the storm
Dm       
I don't want less
Bb           F
I don't want more
Dm                 Bb           F
Must bar the windows and the doors
         Dm       Bb           F
To keep me safe to keep me warm
Dm                        Bb           F
Yeah my life is what I'm fighting for
Dm     
Can't part the sea 
Bb           F
Can't reach the shore
Dm                 Bb           F
And my voice becomes the driving force
       Dm       Bb           F
I won't let this pull me overboard

            Dm          Bb
God keep my head above water
              F
Don't let me drown
           C
It gets harder
               Dm          Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
          F           C
As I fall down to my knees
Dm   Bb  F   C
Don't let me drown
Dm   Bb  F   C
Don't let me drown

     Dm            Bb           F
So pull me up from down below
     Dm           Bb           F
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
     Dm           Bb           F
Come dry me off and hold me close
     Dm           Bb           F
I need you now I need you most

            Dm          Bb
God keep my head above water
              F
Don't let me drown
           C
It gets harder
               Dm          Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
          F           C
As I fall down to my knees
Dm   Bb  F   C
Don't let me drown
F   C
Don't let me drown
Dm   Bb  F   C
Keep my head above water above water

    Bb   C    Dm        F
And I can't see in the stormy weather
    Bb   C    Dm        F
I can't seem to keep it all together
    Bb   C    Dm        F
And I can't swim the ocean like this forever
    Bb   C   
And I can't breathe

            Dm          Bb
God keep my head above water
              F          C
I lose my breath at the bottom
            Dm
Come rescue me
          Bb
I'll be waiting
           F            C
I'm too young to fall asleep

God keep my head above water
              F
Don't let me drown
           C
It gets harder
               Dm          Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
          F           C
As I fall down to my knees
Dm   Bb  F   C
Don't let me drown
Dm   Bb  F   C
Don't let me drown
Dm   Bb  F   C
Keep my head above water above water
