     G5           A5         D5
Well I am your secret, babe
G5         A5       D5
Watch me unfold
G5                 A5          D5
Dancing in these streets so late
C5            G5
And nobody knows
C5         G5      D5
Nobody knows us

     G5             A5          D5
The first time I looked at you
G5               A5     D5
You looked at me
G5                 A5         D5
Swimming in this water so cool
C5                    G5
Just like a river queen
C5                    G5  D5
Just like a river queen

    A5         D5         G5         C5
And I don't remember falling asleep
A5                D5         G5
Must have been holding on tight
A5               D5           G5         C5
And all I can think of and all I can dream
    A5            D5           G5
Is dancing with you at red lights

A5 D5

G5 A5 D5

G5            A5          D5
The sunshine state is closed
G5            A5            D5
Look at the water on the road
G5             A5           D5
And I'm gonna get in my boat
C5                  G5
And to you I will float
C5                  G5     D5
And to you I will float

   G5             D5            A5
I looked out my window this morning
   G5             D5            A5
And I saw the strangest thing
   G5         D5            A5
Everyone was walking on water, and dancing in the rain

G5 D5 A5

   G5             D5        A5
Oh and darling I got so jealous
       G5              D5          A5
Just wishing you were here with me
   G5             D5            A5
And I saw the prettiest people, they were kissing in the street
      G5         D5            A5
They didn't care who was watching, in the middle of the street
      G5         D5            A5
They didn't care who was watching

               G5           D5            A5
But I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
               G5           D5            A5
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
               G5           D5            A5
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
           G5           D5          A5
Raining on me, and I'm waiting on you

G5 D5 A5 (x2)

       G5           D5            A5
Just sitting here watching the weather
     G5             D5            A5
And I can feel the air's getting colder
               G5                 D5            A5
They say that sometimes the sunshine at the party, well she's the first one to go
 G5              D5            A5
She doesn't give any warning,  she just gets up and goes
G5           D5            A5
She doesn't give any warning

(chorus)

    G5             D5            A5
Oh what would you do if I showed up
       G5           D5            A5
On your doorstep just ready to go?
           G5          D5                A5
Would you send me away, would you come out and play?
            G5              D5            A5
It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today
            G5              D5            A5
It's just a little bit of rain and I'm leaving today

Well you stay with me, in the balcony,

And we'll sink in our seas as the people all leave
D5                            A5
And we can hide out as the curtain comes down
         G5                    A5

It's enough to make me run away with you

Darling green eyes are better than blue

D5            A5                 D5
She says, "This isn't easy, you know

'Cause when the pedestal crumbles and falls to the ground
         B5             G5            D5
You will wish that you left her the way that you'd found her

Well I saw you in the water last night
        B5          A5           D5
You were smiling at me as you slipped out of sight
        B5           G5            D5
When I woke from my dream I was screaming for life
         D5               A5          D5
'Cause I saw you in the water last night

A5                                        F5             G5
'Cause I still see the water, and it's dripping down my door
C5                                  G5
I used to hear the children play, I used to hear the birds sing
A5                                     F5            G5
One day they just stopped, and I don't hear them anymore

Repeat Chorus!

C5 G5 A5 F5 G5

C5                                           G5
Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing my best to regret these sins
A5                                 F5               G5
Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again?
C5                                             G5
And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's just that I'm not strong
A5                                      F5            G5
'Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong

Repeat Chorus, overlap lyrics and get loud!

And I will be waving as you pass by

Today was a good day, was better than most
        C5                       F5
Didn't see me no demons, didn't fight with no ghosts
       Bb5                    C5            D5  F5

There's only four seasons but these feelings are always here

Bb5 C5 F5 (x2)

Bb5                            G5
And I haven't been here since I don't know when

'Cause there's only four seasons, and I'm looking for something more

Bb5 C5 F5 (x2)

         Bb5                 G5
So let's pack our bags, get out of this town
C5                           F5
Head up the coast where the wind knocks you down
           Bb5                       C5                             D5   F5
