  As you sail on the sea you could never seem to see 
      G                                D 
That all of your dreams could be tossed in the waves 
        A                 Bm7            G 
And lost in the ocean, sinking in, that sinking feeling 
    D                  A                         Bm7 
And as your world has stopped its turning, your heart stands still 
    G                       D                 A 
Hanging by this melody of life that hasn't lost its meaning 
Bm7                        G                 D 
  And when you're lost at sea I will be your shore 

 
D                     A 
  So hold on tight, your ship is going down 
Bm7                    G 
  In the storm of life I won't let you drown 
D                  A 
  It'll be alright now if you just hold on 
Bm7              G               D 
  So just hold on, rescue has come 
End: 
D  A  Bm7  G               D  A  Bm7  G  D 
           Rescue has come 

Verso 2: 
D                     A                       Bm7          G 
  Right where the stars have left you dead in the cold and on your own 
    D                A              Bm7                  G 
But I see a silver lining appear beyond the dark and beyond your fear 
       D              A 
'Cause you were never meant to do this alone 
Bm7                                           D 
  And when you're lost at sea I will be your shore
