The Flood Katie Melua
A strange, beautiful song. Despite the gorgeous William Orbit production this
still sounds beautiful with an acoustic guitar.
Tuning: EADGBE capo 1 for the same key as the record
NB chords relative to capo 1
[A]Broken people get recycled
And I hope that I will sometimes be thrown over pathways
What I thought was my way [D]home
Wasn't the place I [A]know
I’m not afraid of changing
I'm certain nothing's certain
What we are becomes our prison
My possessions will be[D] gone
Back to where they came [A]from
[F]Blam[G]e [Dm] [Dm/Bb]no-one is to
[F]Blam[G]e [Dm] [Dm/Bb]as natural as the
[F]Rain that [G]falls
Here [Dm]comes the [Dm/Bb]flood a-[A]gain
[A]See the rock that you hold onto
Is it gonna save you
When the earth begins to crumble
Why do you feel you have to [D]hold on
Imagine if you let [A]go

[F]Blam[G]e [Dm] [Dm/Bb]no-one is to
[F]Blam[G]e [Dm] [Dm/Bb]as natural as the
[F]Rain that [G]falls
Here [Dm]comes the [Dm/Bb]flood a-[A]gain
[A]Push a-[D]way the [F]weight that [Em7]pulls you [A]down
[Gbm]Light the [F]waves that [Dm7]free [Em7]from the [A]dark
[A]Don't trust your eyes
It’s easy to be-[D]lieve them
[F]Know in your heart
That [Em7]you can leave your [A]prison
[Gbm]Don't trust your mind
It's not always [F]listening
[Dm7]Turn on the lights
And [Em7]feel the ancient [A]rhythm
[A]Don't trust your eyes
It’s easy to be-[D]lieve them
[F]k
Know in your heart
That [Em7]you can leave your [A]prison
[F]Blam[G]e [Dm] [Dm/Bb]no-one is to
[F]Blam[G]e [Dm] [Dm/Bb]as natural as the
[F]Rain that [G]falls
Here [Dm]comes the [Dm/Bb]flood a-[A]gain
