The Flood Cheryl Cole
Intro C
[C]Turn the lights out in the light house, I saw you coming
[Am]Felt the ship wreck, saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling
[F]Just then, that's when I saw your reflection in the sand
[C]Wondering where you were washed up, oh, I ran to the water
[F]I can put my hands down in it
[C]But I won't bring nothing up
[F]Sitting on the shore all day
G (strum once)
Waiting on the tide to come
But you [C]can't hold on to [G]water
It fills you up but [D7]never stays
It's only good to [F]wash away today
And you're [C]loving me like [G]water
You're slippin' through my [D7]fingers' touch
A natural disa[F]ster, love
Bringing on the [C]flood, the [G]flood
Love me like a [D7]flood, a [F]flood, bring it on
[C]Stayed the night out by the beach house, it's all so quiet
[Am]Lit a candle by the window so you might find it
[F]Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home
[C]Still, I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning
[F]I can put my hands down in it, yeah
[C]But I won't bring nothing up
[F]Sitting on the shore all day
Just [G]waiting on the tide to come
But you [C]can't hold on to [G]water
It fills you up but [D7]never stays
It's only good to [F]wash away today
And you're [C]loving me like [G]water
You're slippin' through my [D7]fingers' touch
A natural dis[F]aster, love
Bringing on the [C]flood, the [G]flood
Love me like a [D7]flood, a [F]flood, bring it on
I [F]knew the waves were rising
When I [Am]felt them all retreating
[F]Went to take a dive in the deep end
[G]Oh, what was I thinking?
C (strum once) G (strum once)
But you can't hold on to water
D7 (strum once)
It fills you up but never stays
F (strum once)
It's only good to wash away today
C (strum once) G (strum once)
And you're loving me like water
D7 (strum quietly)
You're slippin' through my fingers' touch
F (strum quietly)
A natural disaster, love
Bringing on the [C]flood, the [G]flood
Love me like a [D7]flood, a [F]flood, bring it on
[C]ohh ohh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ohh ohh
[G]ohh ohh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
[D7]Rising and the falling of my [F]tears
[C]Rising and the falling of my [G]tears that fill the ocean
[D7]The ocean, the ocean
F (strum slowly) C (strum once)
My tears that fill the ocean, the ocean
