[Verse]
G                                  Bm                        Em
The ship was sinking; we were drinking, singing one last song,
             D
Casting our gold into the ocean.
G                                  Bm                      Em
You grabbed a bucket, started screaming, "Come on, come on",
             D
Trying to slow the downward motion.
C                             D                            Em
Back in the kingdom, we were kings and queens and Oh, so strong
            Asus4
That God himself could not contain us.
C                             D                      Em
We never thought we'd be the shorter end of sword and gun.
           Asus4
Now god himself can never save us.

[Chorus]
C           D               Em
  Waves of silver, waves of gold
            G
Are coming down to take me,
C             D           Em
  Separate my body from my soul
                 Asus4
And Jesus either leaves or takes me.
C          D                Em
  Hopes of heaven, fears of hell
               G
and what's the chance I'll make it.
C             D                Em
  When all my other plans have failed,
           Asus4
And I have tried so hard to fake it.

[Verse]
G                            Bm                  Em
We started sinking, drinking water from the open sea
           D
Losing our bodies to the ocean.
G                               Bm                 Em
You grabbed my hand and started screaming, "rescue me"
         D
Together fight the downward motion.
G                             D                            Em
Back in the kingdom, we were kings and queens and Oh, so strong
            Asus4
That god himself just had to show us.
G                             D                      Em
We never thought we'd be the colder side of land and sea
             Asus4
But he's the only one who knows us.


[Chorus]
C           D               Em
  Waves of silver, waves of gold
            G
Are coming down to take me,
C             D           Em
  Separate my body from my soul
                 Asus4
And Jesus either leaves or takes me.
C          D                Em
  Hopes of heaven, fears of hell
               G
and what's the chance I'll make it.
C             D                Em
  When all my other plans have failed,
           Asus4
And I have tried so hard to fake it.

[Outro]
G D Em  C
      I tried so hard to fake it.
