[Verse 1]

Am   Em
high tide

Am	      Em
summer in the city

Am		     Em
the kids are looking pretty

    Dm
but isnt it a pity

         Am  Em
that the sun shine

   Am          Em
is followed by thunder

	Am	      Em
the thoughts of going under

Dm
and is it any wonder why the...


[Chorus 1]

C		    E
sea, calling out to me

		   Am	 G    F
I seem to spend my whole life running

		      C
from people who would be

		     E
the death of you and me

		     Am	   G
cause I can feel the storm clouds

D/F#	      F
sucking up my soul

[Verse 2]

Am   Em
high tide

Am		Em
life is getting faster

Am	       Em
no-one has the answer

Dm		               Am  Em
I try to face the day now in a new way

    Am	        Em
the bottom of a bottle

Am		     Em
'Cause every man's a puzzle

Dm
thats one way together, you and...


[Chorus 2]

C	            E
me, forever we'd be free

		  Am	G     F
free to spend our whole lives running

		      C
from people who would be

		     E
the death of you and me

                      Am    G
'cause I can feel the storm clouds

D/F#          F
sucking up my soul

from people who would be

fhe death of you and me

		      Am    G	   F					
'fause I can feel the storm clouds coming

		C

		  E

	      Am  G   F

		 C		  E

sucking up my soul
