  S1:
  I've gotta keep the calm 

  Before the storm 

  I don't want less 

  I don't want more 

  Must bar the windows 

  And the doors 

  To keep me safe 

  To keep me warm

  S2:
  Yeah, my life is what 

  I'm fighting for 

  Can't part the sea 

  Can't reach the shore 

  And my voice becomes 

  The driving force 

  I won't let this pull me 

  Over---board
• DmiB♭FCDmiB♭F/AC
  R1:
  God, keep my head above water 

  Don't let me drown, it gets harder 

  I'll meet you there, at the altar 

  As I fall down to my knees
• DmiB♭FC
  R2:
  Don't let me drown, drown, drown 

  Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown

  S3:
  So pull me up 

  From down below 

  'Cause I'm underneath 

  The under--tow 

  Come dry me off 

  And hold me close 

  I need you now 

  I need you most
• DmiB♭FCDmiB♭F/AC
  R1:
  God, keep my head above water 

  Don't let me drown, it gets harder 

  I'll meet you there, at the altar 

  As I fall down to my knees
• DmiB♭FCDmiB♭F/AC
  R2:
  Don't let me drown, drown, drown 

  Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown 

  Don't let me drown, drown, drown (I keep my head above water) 

  Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown (above water)
• B♭CDmiFB♭C/B♭F/AFF/AB♭CDmiFF/AB♭C
  B1:
  And I can't 

  See in the stormy weather 

  I can't 

  Seem to keep it all together 

  And I, I can't swim 

  The ocean like this forever 

  And I can't breathe
• DmiC6DmiCsus4C
  R3:
  God, keep my head above water 

  I lose my breath, at the bottom 

  Come rescue me, I'll be waiting 

  I'm too young to fall asleep
• DmiB♭FCDmiB♭F/AC
  R1:
  So, god, keep my head above water 

  Don't let me drown, it gets harder 

  I'll meet you there, at the altar 

  As I fall down to my knees
• F/AB♭DmiC/EF/AB♭DmiC
  R4:
  Don't let me dro----own 

  Don't let me dro----own (don't let me, don't let me drown) 

  Don't let me dro----own and keep my head above water 

  Above water (don't let me, don't let me drown)
