[Intro]
C7sus4 Cm7 Eb/Bb Ab (x4)
[Verse 1]
Cm Bb6 Ab When the night shows and signals grow on radios Cm Bb6 Ab All the strange things that come and go as early warnings Bb Gm7 Ab Stranded starfish have no place to hide Ab F/A Bb G/B Cm Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide Cm7/Bb F/A Fm/Ab Ab Eb Theres no point in direction, we cannot even choose a side
[Verse 2]
Cm Bb6 Ab I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water, Cm Bb6 Ab On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters, Bb Gm7 Ab The jaded underworld was riding high, Ab F/A Bb G/B Cm And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky, Cm7/Bb F/A Fm/Ab Ab Eb And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd
[Chorus]
Eb Bb/D Cm Lord, here comes the flood Bb G/B Cm We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood G/B Cm If again the seas are silent in any still alive G/B G/A G G/F Ab It'll be those who gave their island to survive Abm Bbm B Db Eb Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
[Verse 3]
Cm Bb6 Ab When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls, Cm Bb6 Ab In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash, Bb Gm7 Ab Don't be afraid to cry at what you see, Ab F/A Bb G/B Cm The actor's gone, there's only you and me, Cm7/Bb F/A Fm/Ab Ab Eb And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be
[Chorus]
Eb Bb/D Cm Lord, here comes the flood Bb G/B Cm We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood G/B Cm If again the seas are silent in any still alive G/B G/A G G/F Ab It'll be those who gave their island to survive Abm Bbm B Db Eb Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
