Verse 1:
Bm G
I followed the sights; I followed the stars
Bm G D
I followed anything to get where you are
G Bm
But you were asleep; far out at sea
Bm G D
You couldn’t hear, oh you couldn’t see me
D Bm7
And waves crashed around; swallowed you whole
G Bm D
Swallowed the moon and it drowned out your soul
Chorus 1:
D Bm
You said “I love her”, You said we’d last
Bm G D Bm
So I’ll walk on water, hold steady, hold fast
Verse 2:
Bm G
She was a rage, something so fierce
Bm G D
Grasping my feet as I came near
Bm G
I held out my arms to gather you up
Bm G D
I fought off the demons, shed tears and shed blood
D Bm7
And waves crashed around; swallowed me whole
G Bm D
Swallowed the moon and it drowned out my soul
Chorus 2:
D Bm
I said “I love him”, I said we’d last
G Bm D Bm
So I’ll walk on water, hold steady, hold fast
Verse 3:
Bm G
Her fury subsides; we wake with the dawn
Bm G D/F# D
Taking account of what damage was done
Bm G
To our surprise we did not meet death
D G D
Love stood up strong, oh love haloed our head
D Bm7
We walked the waves far out at sea
G Bm D
Wrapped in His arms oh my lover and me
D Bm7
Raging or calm; little we care
G D/F# G D
‘Cause love is a force that will carry us home
D Bm7
And waves danced around; we learn to let go
G D/F# D/F#
To sing to the moon and awaken the soul
CHORUS 3
D Bm
We said, “I love You”; we said we’d last
G D/F# D
So we’ll walk on water, hold steady, hold fast
G D/F# D
So we’ll walk on water, hold steady, hold fast
