C#
  The streets of persuasion

B                 G#
 Are plated with gold

C#
  Your heart's in the right place,

          B                    G#
But you travel down the wrong road

C#
 Like so many before you

B                G#
 The gates open wide

                C#         B G#
Here come the rising tide

      F#         G#
Let's go out, tonight

            A#m                         F#
There's a mystery underneath the neon lights

F#                     G#
Before life and dream collide

            A#m                               F#
Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wide

         F#                Fm          A#m
And you can't escape the rising of the tide

C#                       B                    G#
 Keep up your appearance, you're joining the choir

C#
  With everybody singing out

 B          G#
"Glory Hallejuah"

C#
  The time came for your solo

B                        G#
 But there's nowhere to hide

                 C#        B G#
Here come the rising tide

          F#         G#
And the company you keep

          A#m                           F#
Well they plan your crucifiction as we speak

                F#                 G#
So, baby 'till life and dream the collide

                    A#m                           F#
There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights

         F#            Fm                A#m
If you can't decipher just who's on your side

         F#                Fm          A#m
You will not escape the rising of the tide

C#                                              A#m
Can you tell me brother? was I deceived, or in denial?

C#                                                F#      G#
I was there, on the back of the room, when you testified

            A#m                                        F#
With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips, and lied

                    F#               G#
We're never gonna know how hard you cried

            A#m                           F#
When you petitioned and your access was denied

           F#            Fm         A#m
'Till the venom in your veins is satisfied

            F#            Fm              A#m
'Till you suffocate and swallow down the pride

          F#
Well you can't escape

      A
(You can't escape)

     A#m
Yeah you can't escape

      A
(You can't escape)

        F#               Fm           A#m
No you can't escape the rising of the tide
