Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: Dm A# F

Verse:
           Dm                    A#    F
Iʼve gotta keep the calm before the storm
  Dm                 A#          F
I donʼt want less, I donʼt want more
     Dm              A#       F
Must bar the windows and the doors
   Dm               A#       F
To keep me safe, to keep me warm

         Dm               A#        F
Yeah, my life is what Iʼm fighting for
      Dm                  A#         F
Canʼt part the sea, canʼt reach the shore
       Dm                A#       F
And my voice becomes the driving force
        Dm               A#   F
I wonʼt let this pull me overboard

Chorus:
             Dm         A#
God, keep my head above water
             F
Donʼt let me drown
        C
It gets harder
             Dm           A#
Iʼll met you there at the altar
     F               C
As I fall down to my knees
             Dm              A#
Donʼt let me drown, drown, drown
              F                            C
Donʼt let me, donʼt let me, donʼt let me drown

Verse:
   Dm              A#    F
So pull me up from down below
          Dm             A#    F
Cause Iʼm underneath the undertow
     Dm             A#       F
Come dry me off and hold me close
  Dm              A#        F
I need you now, I need you most

Chorus:
             Dm         A#
God, keep my head above water
             F
Donʼt let me drown
        C
It gets harder
             Dm           A#
Iʼll met you there at the altar
     F               C
As I fall down to my knees
             Dm              A#
Donʼt let me drown, drown, drown
              F                            C
Donʼt let me, donʼt let me, donʼt let me drown
             Dm              A#
Donʼt let me drown, drown, drown
                 F                            C
(Donʼt let me,   donʼt let me, donʼt let me drown)
                   F                         C
Keep my head above water,             above water

Bridge:
    A#  C    F          Dm     C
And I canʼt see in the stormy weather
A#  C    F               Dm  C
I canʼt seem to keep it all together
    A#       C        F          Dm    C
And I canʼt swim the ocean like this forever
    A#       C
And I canʼt breath

Chorus:
             Dm         A#
God, keep my head above water
           F
I loose my breath
        C
At the bottom
            Dm          A#
Come rescue me, Iʼll be waiting
        F                C
Iʼm too young to fall asleep
             Dm         A#
God, keep my head above water
             F
Donʼt let me drown
        C
It gets harder
             Dm           A#
Iʼll met you there at the altar
     F               C
As I fall down to my knees
             Dm  A#
Donʼt let me dro-own
              F                            C
Donʼt let me, donʼt let me, donʼt let me drown
             Dm  A#
Donʼt let me dro-own
                   F                            C
(Donʼt let me,     donʼt let me, donʼt let me drown)
                   F                           C
Keep my head above water,              above water
