[Intro] |Em G |C D |Em G |C D | [Verse 1]
Em              G              C
You worship the sun and you're aching for change

D                          Em
But you keep starving your heart

                 G
You used to have sisters

          C
You don't anymore

                 D
You worship the sun

N.C                          Em G C D
But you keep feeding the dark
[Verse 2]
Em
And I'm out in the yard

G               C       D
With my son and daughter

Em                 G                                 C
And the sky is all black and I think we should start running…..
N.C. Running from the water
Em
And everybody's yelling

G
Yelling that they're coming

    C       N.C.
But I don't see a single soul

        Em
They're all so busy yelling

    G
Not one of them is hearing

    C                         N.C.
The hissing from the bottom of the boat
[Pre Chorus]
           D
I got some feelings up my sleeve

D
I got a compass in my arm

        C
I got a needle in my heart
It's gonna tell us where we are [Chorus]
Em    G        C
South by south west

D             Em
Two miles from town

  G         C
I can't get out

  D          Em
I can't look down

Em
If you can hear

G          
If you're around

C
I'm over here

C
I'm over here

             Am        C
I'm watching everyone I  love

D               Em    G C  D
Drowning in the sound
[Verse 3]
Em              G
You worship the sun

                     C
But the moons in the way

D
So get your armaments out

Em
She's always looking for trouble

G                                  C
She's gonna get what's been coming to her

                         D                                       
She's switching the tide and we can't have that shit around

Em                     G
The television they're blaring out the warning

         C
That our natural state is drowning

C
That our natural state is burning
[Pre Chorus]
           D
And you're trying to help
And you're clicking for change
           C
And you're calling it out
And you're adding your name
           D
And you're marching for peace
But you're lynching the bitch
         C
That got up in your face

                                            Em
How else they gonna to take you seriously?
[Chorus]
Em    G        C
South by south west

D             Em
Two miles from town

  G         C
I can't get out

  D          Em
I can't look down

Em
If you can hear

   G
If you're around

C
I'm over here

C
I'm over here I'm watching

Am         C   D
Everyone I love

N.C             Em    G C D
Drowning in the sound
[Instrumental] Em G C D x3 [Verse 4]
         Am
And your body is a temple

Am
But the temple is a prison

        C
And the prison's overcrowded

C
And the inmates know it's flooding

        Am
And the body politic is getting sicker by the minute

        C
And the media's not fake

          D
It's just very
N.C Inconvenient [Instrumental] Em G C D [Bridge]
       Em                            G
Do you ever feel that this should be officially the end?
N.C. And that you should be the one to do the ending but you can't?
Em                                 G
Ever feel that everyone is slowly letting go
N.C. Do you ever feel that incredibly alone? [Verse 5]
            Em
And they're saying not to panic

G
And it's like a broken record

         C                      D
Not like anybody know what that is

            Em
And they're saying that they'll manage

                        G
It's the hottest one on record
N.C. And they're saying that it's just the way it is [Pre Chorus]
D
And now I can taste it coming

D
I can taste it with my tongue

       C
And my children are so heavy

C                       
But I pick them up and run

      D                  
And I know I'll have to swim soon

D
When the water gets too high

             C
I'll keep on holding them above me

C
I'll keep on holding them and crying
[Chorus]
Em    G        C
South by south west

    D          Em
Two miles from town

  G         C
I can't get out

  D          Em
I can't look down

Em
If you can hear

          G
If you're around

C
I'm over here

C
I'm over here

C
I'm watching

Am         C
Everyone I love

Am          C
Everyone I love

Am                C   D
Everyone I love

N.C             Em    G C D
Drowning in the sound
[Instrumental] Em G C D [Outro]
Em              G                          C
You worship the sun and you're aching for change

D             
But you keep starving your heart

Em               G 
You used to have sisters

          C
You don't anymore

                D
You worship the sun
N.C But you keep feeding the dark
