A
It takes a little shake up from the rift
          D
It takes a bit of wind to get you to lift
         E              Bm              A   E
It takes sandstorms and signs from God

           A
It takes a piece of grass floating on a breeze
           D
It takes a plastic bag stuck up in a tree
         E               Bm               A  E
It takes cold fronts and sackcloth skies

C   Bm   E  (repeat)
Oooh

           A
It takes leviathans down in the abyss
    D
The hidden messages of the things that you missed
         E              Bm          A  E
It takes mouthfuls of Niagara Falls

          A
It takes a little shake up from the rift
          D
It takes a bit of wind to get you to lift
         E              Bm              A   E
It takes sandstorms and signs from God

C   Bm   E  (repeat)
Oooh


The little picked out riff thing goes like this:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------2---4---2--------------------------------------------------|
A|---0---2---4-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Or: A, B, C#, E, F#, E

On the album version, I beleive that that riff is acoompanied by a back-up guitarist 
it an octave higher:

e|----------0--2--0--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----0--2----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---2---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
