C#5
The streets of persuasion
B5                Ab5
Are plated with gold
C#5
Your heart's in the right place,
B5                              Ab5
But you travel down the wrong road
C#5
Like so many before you
B5               Ab5
The gates open wide

                C#5         B5 Ab5
Here comes the rising tide

      C#5         Ab5
Let's go away, tonight
            Bb5                           F#5
There's a mystery underneath those neon lights
C#5                     Ab5
Until life and dream collide
            Bb5                                F#5
Cause the truth's gonna come and cut you open wide
         F#5                F5          Bb5
And you can't escape the rising of the tide

C#5                      B5              Ab5
Keep up your appearance, you join the choir
C#5
With everybody singing out
B5          Ab5
Glory Hallejuah
C#5
The songs get you nowhere
B5                   Ab5
There's nowhere to hide

                 C#5        B5 Ab5
Here comes the rising tide

          C#5         Ab5
And the company you keep
          Bb5                           F#5
Well they plan your crucifiction as we speak
              C#5             Ab5
So, baby til life and dream collide
                    Bb5                           F#5
There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
         F#5                 F5         Bb5
You'll petition. but your access was denied
         F#5                F5          Bb5
And you can't escape the rising of the tide

C#5                                         Bb5
Can you tell me bro was I decided, or in denial?
C#5                                                Eb5      Ab5
I was there, on the back of the room , when you testified
         Bb5                                            F#5
When you took the stand, you licked your lips, and you lied
       C#5              Ab5
Until life and dream collide
        Bb5                                  F#5
Well I gotta belive there's something on my side
          F#5            F5         Bb5
When the venom in your veins is satisfied
            F#5                 F5              Bb5
You'll be running, but there ain't no where to hide

B5
You can't escape

(You can't escape)
Bb5
You can't escape

(You can't escape)
     F#5               F5           Bb5
You can't escape the rising of the tide
