C#
  The streets of persuasion
B                 Ab
 Are plated with gold
C#
  Your heart's in the right place,
          B                    Ab
But you travel down the wrong road
C#
 Like so many before you
B                Ab
 The gates open wide

                C#         B Ab
Here comes the rising tide

      C#         Ab
Let's go away, tonight
            Bbm                           F#
There's a mystery underneath those neon lights
C#                     Ab
Until life and dream collide
            Bbm                                F#
Cause the truth's gonna come and cut you open wide
         F#                Fm          Bbm
And you can't escape the rising of the tide

C#                       B              Ab
 Keep up your appearance, you join the choir
C#
  With everybody singing out
B          Ab
Glory Hallejuah
C#
  The songs get you nowhere
B                    Ab
 There's nowhere to hide

                 C#        B Ab
Here comes the rising tide

          C#         Ab
And the company you keep
          Bbm                           F#
Well they plan your crucifiction as we speak
              C#             Ab
So, baby til life and dream collide
                    Bbm                           F#
There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
         F#                 Fm         Bbm
You'll petition. but your access was denied
         F#                Fm          Bbm
And you can't escape the rising of the tide

C#                                         Bbm
Can you tell me bro was I decided, or in denial?
C#                                                Eb      Ab
I was there, on the back of the room, when you testified
         Bbm                                            F#
When you took the stand, you licked your lips, and you lied
       C#              Ab
Until life and dream collide
        Bbm                                  F#
Well I gotta belive there's something on my side
          F#            Fm         Bbm
When the venom in your veins is satisfied
            F#                 Fm              Bbm
You'll be running, but there ain't no where to hide

      F#
You can't escape
      A
(You can't escape)
     Bbm
You can't escape
      A
(You can't escape)
     F#               Fm           Bbm
You can't escape the rising of the tide
