Capo 3 fret

[Intro]
Bm  G  D
 
[Verse 1]
           Bm            G          D
I've gotta keep the calm before the storm
  Bm                 G          D
I don't want less, I don't want more
     Bm              G       D
Must bar the windows and the doors
   Bm               G       D
To keep me safe, to keep me warm
 
[Verse 2]
         Bm               G        D
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
      Bm                  G         D
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
       Bm                G       D
And my voice becomes the driving force
        Bm               G   D
I won't let this pull me overboard
 
[Chorus]
             Bm         G
God, keep my head above water
             D
Don't let me drown
        A
It gets harder
              Bm           G
I'll meet you there at the altar
     D               A
As I fall down to my knees
             Bm              G
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
              D                            A
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
 
[Verse 3]
   Bm              G    D
So pull me up from down below
          Bm             G    D
Cause I'm underneath the undertow
     Bm             G       D
Come dry me off and hold me close
  Bm              G        D
I need you now, I need you most
 
[Chorus]
             Bm         G
God, keep my head above water
             D
Don't let me drown
        A
It gets harder
              Bm           G
I'll meet you there at the altar
     D               A
As I fall down to my knees
             Bm              G
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
              D                            A
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
             Bm              G
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
                   D                            A
(Don't let me,     don't let me, don't let me drown)
Keep my head above water,                 above water
 
[Bridge]
    G  A    D          Bm     A
And I can't see in the stormy weather
G  A    D               Bm  A
I can't seem to keep it all together
    G       A        D          Bm    A
And I can't swim the ocean like this forever
    G       A
And I can't breathe
 
[Chorus]
             Bm         G
God, keep my head above water
          D
I lose my breath
        A
At the bottom
            Bm          G
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
        D                A
I'm too young to fall asleep
             Bm         G
God, keep my head above water
             D
Don't let me drown
        A
It gets harder
              Bm           G
I'll meet you there at the altar
     D               A
As I fall down to my knees
             Bm  G
Don't let me dro-own
              D                            A
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
             Bm  G
Don't let me dro-own
                   D                            A
(Don't let me,     don't let me, don't let me drown)
Keep my head above water,                 above water
