( C#5  C#5  E5  A5 ) 4x

C#5             B5        A5
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
C#5              B5          A5
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
B5                 Ab5    A5      
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
      A5        F#5   B5       Ab5   C#5
Still waiting  for the swollen Easter tide
       C#5                     F#5  F#5 A5             E5
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even  choose a side


C#5             B5         A5
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
C#5                B5          A5
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
B5              Ab5      A5      
The jaded underworld was riding high,
    A5         F#5       B5     Ab5    C#5
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
    C#5                            F#5    F#5    A5            E5
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.


E5         B5           C#5
Lord, here comes the flood
B5            Ab5              C#5
We'll say goodbye,  to flesh and blood
    Ab5                        C#5
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
Ab5     Ab5     Ab5         Ab5  A5
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
      A5 B5 C5        D5            E5
Drink up,   dreamers,  you're running dry


C#5             B5         A5
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
C#5                B5          A5
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
B5                  Ab5    A5      
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
    A5       F#5         B5    Ab5    C#5
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
    C#5                             F#5  F#5   A5      E5
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.


E5         B5           C#5
Lord, here comes the flood
B5            Ab5             C#5
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
   Ab5                         C#5
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
Ab5     Ab5     Ab5         Ab5  A5
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
      A5 B5 C5        D5            E5
Drink up,   dreamers,  you're running dry
