[C]Paper cup of the boat
[C]Heaving chest of the sea [F]
[Ab]Carry both of us
[F]Carry her, carry[C] me

[C]From the place we were born
[C]To the land of the free [F]
[Ab]Carry both of us
[F]Carry her, carry m[C]e

[F]The o---[Ab]cea [F]n
[F]That bears us from our hom[G]e
Could save [C]u [G]s
Or [G]take us for it's o[F]wn

The danger
That life should lead us[G] here
My [C]an g[G]el
Could I have steered us [C]clear?

[C]Gone, the light from her eyes [Ab]
[C]With the lives that we made
[Ab]Just the two of us
[F]In the ni[Eb]ght on the wa[C]ves

[C]Moving silent her lips [Ab]
[C]By the moon's only light
[Ab]Sowing silver prayers
[F]In the blanke[Eb]t of nigh[C]t

[F]The o [Ab]cea [F]n
That bears us from our hom[G]e
Could save [C]u [G]s
Or take us for it's ow[F]n
The dan [Ab]ger [F]
That life should lead us [G]here
My an [C]ge [G]l
Could I have steered us c[C]lear?

[C]Paper cup of the boat
[C]Heaving chest of the sea [F]
[Ab]Carry both of us
[F]Or, swallow her, swallow [C]me
