[Verse 1]
C/G Em
I rode this sinking ship down to the bottom of the sea
F C/G
Wherein the darkening deep burst into flames
F C/G
And I warmed my teeth on the impossible heat
G F C/G C/G
And found my feet underneath me again
[Verse 2]
C/G Em
And I went kicking to the surface just like a newborn thing
F C/G
Ready to begin what I needed to begin
F C/G
I felt the cracking of the whip and hiss of industry
G F C/G
And saw the men who were dying to live
G F C/G
And saw the men who were dying to live

[Verse 3]
C/G Em
I met a preacher who was tethered by shackles and chains
F C/G
To the darkness down inside of him
F C/G
And then a child is free, as the air she breathes
G F C/G C/G
And I worried how I was meant to live
[Verse 4]
C/G Em
Count the cannons of the hill It is easy to see
F C/G
That the mightiest star is the most afraid
F C/G
Like a camel through the eye is it so hard to believe
G F C/G
That a dead man has nothing to gain?
F C/G
Like a camel through the eye is it so hard to believe
G F C/G
That a dead man has nothing to gain?

[Verse 5]
C/G Em
Now there's blood in my eyes from all this trying to see
F C/G
I am deeper in then when I first came
F C/G
And I have traded my gold for a pen and some ink
G F C/G
And I am trying hard to write my name
C/G Em
And now there's blood in my eyes from all this trying to see
F C/G
I am deeper in then when I first came
F C/G
And I have traded my gold for a pen and some ink
G F C/G
And I am trying hard to write my name
F C/G
And I have traded my gold for a pen and some ink
G F C/G
And I am trying hard to write my name
G F C
And I am trying hard to write my name
