VERSE 1:
G#m E
Tossed by the tempest of life
G#m E
A victim of storms I contrive
G#m F#
I feel like the best is behind
G#m F#
And I cant go back
G#m E
The eye of the storm satisfies
G#m E
I watch the chaos from inside
G#m F#
But the wind turns and I realize
G#m F# G#m F#
That I cant go back, That I cant go back
E
So I go
B F#
Pressing on through the wind and the waves
E B F#
If I drown let me go so that you can be saved
E B F#
It don?t matter if people remember my name
E
I have lived
F#
I have lived
(Riff x2)
Let me die
Verse 2:
G#m
I fight against what lies beneath
E
Its just my will against the sea
G#m E
Ive never been one to give in
G#m
Of all the virtues I have lacked
E
The need to fight has been my anchor
G#m F#
I could never ask for you to save me
G#m F#
No your will could never calm the seas Im braving
(Chorus)
