This one is called “Peril on the Sea,” loosely inspired by the hymn and a recent breakup! I’m really happy with the song!

See the FAWM entry or below for lyrics and chords!

Peril on the Sea
Madison Metricula Roberts
Key: A

Intro:
Amaj7 Gmaj7
  x2

Verse 1:
Amaj7           Gmaj7
Danceband on an ocean liner
Dmaj7                         D
we're playing hard but we're  not headliners
Amaj7             C
I am like you and you are like me
D7sus2                 Fmaj7
we'll keep playing but we're sinking slowly
      Bm11/E
And I more in common
     Amaj7          G      Amaj7
with those in peril on the sea

Verse 2:
   Amaj7            Gmaj7
It started out with gentle sailing
    Dmaj7                 D
But winter water sent our hearts and heads swaying
Amaj7                     C
Once the wave crashed and forced us hard to our knees
   D7sus2                    Fmaj7
we faced ice between us, the frozen jagged debris
    Bm11/E
And  I knew I belonged there
     Amaj7          G      Amaj7
with those in peril on the sea


Verse 3:
Amaj7        Gamj7
I see now we never should have started
Dmaj7                    D
With such high hopes but our heart's course uncharted
Amaj7                  C
I put my trust in your role as band lead
    D7sus2                  Fmaj7
But you didn't tell me when and changed to a new key
Bm11/E
I am not different to you
     Amaj7          G      Dmaj7 Amaj7
than those in peril on the sea
    Dmaj7 Amaj7
The sea
    G   D
The sea
