[Intro] |Dm7 F |Bb C | 6 x |F |G | 2x [Verse 1]
 F               G
Nature has some new plague

          F            G
To run in our streets

 F                 G
History some new wrinkle

        F            G
We are doomed to repeat

 Fugitives at the bedroom door

 Am
Lovers pause to find an open store

 G
Rain is burning on the forest floor

         F
And the red tide kisses the shore

This is not a  false alarm

This is not a  test
[Verse 2]
F                   G
 Stay out of the sun

         F            G
It only burns my skin

F             G
 Sky full of poison

        F                  G
And the atmosphere's too thin

Dm7
 Bless the sun, the rain no more

 Am
River running like an open sore

  G
Black wind falling to the ocean floor

         F
And the red tide washes ashore

This is not a  false alarm

Nowhere we can fly away

            G   C
Nowhere we can rest

The party is disrupted by

An uninvited guest
[Verse 3]
F                 G
 Deadline approaches

         F          G
For the weary land

   F                    G
It used to be something

               F                   G
But we let it run down in our hands

 Dm7
Too late for debate, too bad to ignore

 Am
Quiet rebellion leads to open war

  G
Bring a sea-change to the factory floor

        F
As the red tide covers the shore

Now's the time to fight

Let us not go gently

To the endless winter night

 Am
Now's the time to make the time

       G
While hope is still in sight

Let us not go gently

       F               Gm7
To the endless winter night

To the endless winter night

Nowhere we can rest
