CmBb6Ab
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
CmBb6Ab
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
BbGm7Ab
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
AbF/ABbG/BCm
Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
Cm7/BbF/AFm/AbAbEb
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even choose a side
[Verse 2]
CmBb6Ab
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
CmBb6Ab
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
BbGm7Ab
The jaded underworld was riding high,
AbF/ABbG/BCm
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
Cm7/BbF/AFm/AbAbEb
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd
[Chorus]
EbBb/DCm
Lord, here comes the flood
BbG/BCm
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
G/BCm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/BG/AGG/FAb
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
AbmBbmBDbEb
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
[Verse 3]
CmBb6Ab
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
CmBb6Ab
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
BbGm7Ab
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
AbF/ABbG/BCm
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
Cm7/BbF/AFm/AbAbEb
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be
[Chorus]
EbBb/DCm
Lord, here comes the flood
BbG/BCm
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
G/BCm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/CAb/BbAbAb/GbA
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
AbmBbmBDbEb
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
