[Intro]
A C#m F#m
Bm F#m E
[Verse 1]
A C#m F#m As fireworks burst over the land Bm F#m E I could've sworn I felt the influence of an unseen hand A C#m F#m The ghost of someone else's dream Bm F#m E A forgotten god stopping by to survey the scene A C#m F#m And the lights were complicated and so we all just Bm F#m E Prayed to the spirits above and below A C#m F#m That the water would never reach us in time Bm F#m E But I had a feeling that we'd never get to 2009
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah A F#m E We didn't wanna swim but the cities were sinking A Amaj7 Though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through A F#m E The ground that was shaking, the bass was thumping E F#m D There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim D There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning E F#m D And now's as good as any as a time and place to begin
[Verse 2]
A C#m F#m On TV, they said the storms wouldn't last Bm F#m E But their answers didn't correlate to the questions we'd asked A C#m F#m They said, "A spark that's gone is not a spark to mourn Bm F#m E You can't resuscitate a person who was never born" A C#m F#m So I climbed to the tallest building in town Bm F#m E To see the rain rushing in, to feel my heart breaking down A C#m F#m And as the blue sheen drew nearer I saw a window to another world Bm F#m E Strange fish I'd never seen and in that moment I realized
[Chorus]
A Amaj7 Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah A F#m E We didn't wanna swim but the cities were sinking A Amaj7 Though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through A F#m E The ground that was shaking, the bass was thumping E F#m D There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim D There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning E F#m D And now's as good as any as a time and place to begin
[Bridge]
A I should have known this was coming, yeah D E It could not have been more obvious A Like the flood that Noah dreamed about D E Except bigger and more ominous A I should have seen this was unfolding, yeah D E It could not have been more obvious A Like the flood that Noah dreamed about D E Except bigger and more ominous
A D E A
[Outro]
A Amaj7 Every moment lost someone else has won A F#m E Every time you breathe there's another gone A Amaj7 Every passing second is a minute late A F#m E Every breath can escalate a hurricane A Amaj7 And do you think we'd realize just what we'd done A F#m E Tore down the canvas that held up the sun? A Amaj7 We ripped down the canvas hung up above A But what if we were created to gaze A What if we were created to gaze at the stars up above? A Amaj7 Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah A F#m E We didn't wanna swim but the cities were sinking A Amaj7 Though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through A F#m E The ground that was shaking, the bass was thumping
