A5   E5    A5            E5
High tide, summer in the city
A5                   E5
The kids are looking pretty
D5
But isn't it a pity
         A5   E5      A5         E5
That the sunshine is followed by thunder
    A5                E5
And thoughts of going under
D5            F5
And is it any wonder
         C5                  E5
When the sea calling out to me
                   A5    A5 F5
I seem to spend my whole life running
                      C5
From people who would be
                     E5
The death of you and me
                      A5    A5
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds
F5             F5
Sucking up my soul

High tide, life is getting faster
A5             E5
No one has the answer
  D5                           A5  E5
I try to face the day now in a new way
    A5            E5
The bottom of the bottom
A5                   E5
'Cause every man's a puzzle

      D5       F5               C5
Let's run away together you and me
                E5
Forever we'd be free
                  A5    A5  F5
Free to spend our whole lives running
                      C5
From people who would be
                     E5
The death of you and me

'Cause I can feel the storm clouds
F5             F5
Sucking up my soul

Let's run away to sea
                E5
Forever we'd be free

Free to spend our whole lives running
                      C5

The death of you and me

'Cause I can feel the storm clouds coming

                C5
I'm watching my TV
                  E5
Or is it watching me?
              A5  A5 F5
I see another new day dawning
                 C5           E5
It's rising over me, with my mortality
                   A5    A5
And I can feel the storm clouds
F5             F5
Sucking up my soul
