G+G       C majorC           G+G
Silver dagger lightning slashed the sky
  E minorEm         C majorC        G+G
Its Crooked tongue was telling crooked lies
G+G           C majorC       E minorEm
Blood flowed down in a bitter driving rain
   G+G       C majorC        G+G
As I stand upon the sand I feel the pain

G+G      C majorC        G+G
Savage ocean pounded patient shore
    E minorEm      C majorC       G+G
Like a jealous lover trying to feel secure
    G+G         C majorC      E minorEm
But the sand withstands it don't admit defeat
      G+G        C majorC      G+G
And on the turning tide the angry waves retreat

   E minorEm       C majorC       G+G
It's salty spray was spitting in my face
G+G         C majorC       E minorEm
Without something firm to stand upon
    G+G        C majorC        G+G
I'd be here one minute and the next be gone

Bridge:
     D MajorD         E minorEm
Storm as big as a mountain range
    D MajorD       E minorEm
Coming down - heavy, strange
     C majorC        G+G
I perish Lord you know I will
      D MajorD
A augmentedA voice it whispers
      E minorEm
"Peace, be still"

Verse:
  G+G       C majorC        G+G
The dying sun was all but laid to rest
      E minorEm       C majorC        G+G
But for the remnant of some gunfight in the west
G+G        C majorC      E minorEm
Goodbye's never easy don't I know
     G+G        C majorC        G+G
But these fingernails are finally letting go

G+G       C majorC     G+G
Fading distant fireworks display
      E minorEm      C majorC     G+G
Is growing silent as the fury rolls away
G+G         C majorC       E minorEm
Shooting stars are dancing up on high
      G+G        C majorC        G+G
They ask me "May I have this dance before we die?"

      D MajorD
I won't go down
      E minorEm
I won't go down
      D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
I won't go do..own
