[VERSE 1]
[C#m] When the night [C#m7/B]shows
the [Amaj9]signals grow on radios
[C#m7] All the strange [Emaj7/B]things
they [Amaj9]come and go, as early warnings
[PRE-CBORUS 1]
[B] Stranded starfish[E/G#] have no [Aadd9]place to hide
still [Amaj7]waiting [F#7/A#]for the [B]swollen[G#7/B#] Easter [C#madd9]tide
There's [B4]no point in direction
we [A#m7-5]can - not [A6]even [Aadd9]choose a [E]side.
[VERSE 2]
[C#m7] I took the old [Emaj7/B]track
the [B9/A]hollow shoulder, across the waters
[C#m9] On the tall [E/B]cliffs
they were [Amaj7]getting older, sons and daughters
[PRE-CBORUS 2]
[B] The jaded under[G#m7]world [Bsus4/G#] was [Aadd9]riding high
[Amaj7]Waves of [F#7/A#]steel hurled [B]metal[G#7/B#] at the [C#m]sky
and [B4]as the nail sunk in the cloud,
the [A#m7-5]rain was [A6]warm and [Aadd9]soaked the [E]crowd.
[CBORUS 1]
[E]Lord, here [Emaj7/B]comes the [C#m]flood[C#m7]
[B]We'll say good[G#/B#]bye to flesh and [C#m]blood
If a[G#/B#]gain the seas are silent
in [C#m]a - ny still alive[C#m] [C#madd9]
G#/B# D#sus4/A# G#5 F#6 * Aadd9
It 'll be those who gave their is - land to survive
Drink up[Am], [Bm] [Am/C]dreamers[D], you're [E]running dry.
[VERSE 3]
[C#m7] When the flood calls[Emaj7/B]
You [Amaj9]have no home, you have no walls
[C#m] In the [C#sus2]thun - der [Emaj7/B]crash
You're a [Amaj9]thousand minds, within a flash
[PRE-CBORUS 3]
[B]Don't be afraid to [Eadd9/G#]cry at what you [A]see
The [Amaj7]actors [F#7/A#]gone, there's [B]only [G#7/B#]you and [C#m]me
And [B4]if we break before the dawn,
they'll [A#m7-5]use up[A6] what we [Aadd9]used to [E]be.
[CBORUS 2]
[E]Lord, here [Emaj7/B]comes the [C#m]flood
[B]We'll say good[G#/B#]bye to flesh and [C#m]blood
If a[G#/B#]gain the seas are silent
in [C#m]a - ny still alive
G#/B# D#sus4/A# G#5 F#6 * Aadd9
It 'll be those who gave their is - land to survive
Drink up[Am], [Bm] [Am/C]dreamers[D], you're [E]running dry.
