[Intro]
Dm          Bb  F           Fmaj7
 
[Verse 1]
           Dm               Bb        F   Fmaj7
I've gotta keep the calm before the storm
   Dm                 Bb         F   Fmaj7
I don’t want less, I don't want more
      Dm             Bb       F   Fmaj7
Must bar the windows and the doors
    Dm               Bb      F
To keep me safe, to keep me warm
          Dm               Bb       F   Fmaj7
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
      Dm                   Bb         F   Fmaj7
Can’t part the sea, can't reach the shore
        Dm                 Bb     F   Fmaj7
And my voice becomes the driving force
        Dm               Bb  F
I won't let this pull me overboard
 
[Chorus]
             Dm         Bb
God, keep my head above water
             F               C
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
              Dm            Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
      Am               C
As I fall down to my knees
             Dm               Bb
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
               F                            C
Don't let me, don't let me, don’t let me drown
 
[Verse 2]
   Dm               Bb     F   Fmaj7
So pull me up from down below
           Dm             Bb   F   Fmaj7
’Cause I'm underneath the undertow
     Dm              Bb       F   Fmaj7
Come dry me off and hold me close
   Dm             Bb       F
I need you now, I need you most
 
[Chorus]
             Dm          Bb
God, keep my head above water
               F             C
Don’t let me drown, it gets harder
              Dm            Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
      Am               C
As I fall down to my knees
             Dm               Bb
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
               F                            C
Don't let me, don’t let me, don't let me drown
             Dm               Bb
Don't let me drown, drown, drown 
                                         Am           C
(Don´t let Me...) To keep my head above water, above water
 
[Bridge]
    Bb C     Dm          Bb    F
And I can't see in the stormy weather
Bb C/Bb   F/A            F
I  can't seem to keep it all together
    Bb           C      Dm           F
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
    Bb        C
And I can't breathe
 
[Refrain]
             Dm
God, keep my head above water
            F/C
I lose my breath at the bottom
            Dm
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
         F/C
I'm too young to fall asleep
 
[Chorus]
              Dm         Bb
God, keep my head above water
             F               C
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
              Dm            Bb
I'll meet you there at the altar
      Am               C
As I fall down to my knees
 
[Outro]
               F/C
Don't let me drown (don't let me, don't let me drown)
Bb              Dm
 Don't let me drown (don't let me, don't let me drown)
C/E             F/A
 Don't let me drown (don't let me, don't let me drown)
Bb                       Dm           C
 And keep my head above water, above water
