( C#4/7  C#m7  E/B  A ) 4x

C#m             B6        A
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
C#m              B6          A
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
B                 Abm7    A      
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
      A        F#/Bb   B       Ab/C   C#m
Still waiting  for the swollen Easter tide
       C#m7/B                     F#/Bb  F#m/A A             E
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even  choose a side


C#m             B6         A
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
C#m                B6          A
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
B              Abm7      A      
The jaded underworld was riding high,
    A         F#/Bb       B     Ab/C    C#m
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
    C#m7/B                            F#/Bb    F#m/A    A            E
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.


E         B/Eb           C#m
Lord, here comes the flood
B            Ab/C              C#m
We'll say goodbye,  to flesh and blood
    Ab/C                        C#m
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
Ab/C     Ab/Bb     Ab         Ab/F#  A
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
      Am Bm C        D            E
Drink up,   dreamers,  you're running dry


C#m             B6         A
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
C#m                B6          A
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
B                  Abm7    A      
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
    A       F#/Bb         B    Ab/C    C#m
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
    C#m7/B                             F#/Bb  F#m/A   A      E
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.


E         B/Eb           C#m
Lord, here comes the flood
B            Ab/C             C#m
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
   Ab/C                         C#m
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
Ab/C     Ab/Bb     Ab         Ab/F#  A
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
      Am Bm C        D            E
Drink up,   dreamers,  you're running dry
