Song: Lost Continent Band: Thrice Album: The Alchemy Index: Vols. I & II - Fire & Water Tabbed: J. Griff ([email protected]) Comments: I was watching this song on Thrice's Myspace Transmissions a little while ago. I figured I could find a tab for this song, but there weren't any. So, I wanted to tab the song for myself. Most of this song is played on a piano. I've never tabbed out a piano song on a guitar before, so this tab may be rough. This would be my second Thrice tab and fifth one overall. If there are any corrections let me know. Please rate and comment. Chords:

Notes: To play the verses, you strum in quarter notes. Also, I'm shortening the Gsus4 to G4 to fit between the other chords. The Em2 is actually an Em. I put a 2 beside it to avoid confusion between the chords played in the verses and the chorus. Intro/Verse: G1 G G G4 G1 G G G4 G1

G   G    G4 G1        G         G    G4   G1
Was there a time that we know peace;

G    G   G4  G1        G     G     G4    E
when all the children had a place to sleep

E5 E5 Em2

     E    E5      E5  Em2  G1    
when rhetoric was not e----nough?

G G G4 G1 G G G4 G1

G   G    G4 G1      G          G  G4   
Was there a time we weren't at war

G    G   G4  G1       G          G      G4   E
When we knew what our hearts and hands were for?

E5 E5 Em2

  E       E5          E5  Em2   G1
I don't believe there e---ver   was.

G G G4 G1 G G G4

Em   D      C
It's always been a lie,

Em D        C
a  soothing lullaby

E     D       C                G1
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea

G G G4 G1 G G G4 G1

G   G    G4 G1      G       G     G1
Was there a time we looked around,

G         G      G4   G1      G       G   G4      E 
and do we really even want to know what's going down

E5 E5 Em E

E5           E5      Em     G1
Well I think no one really does

G G G4 G1 G G G4

E5   D5     C5
We'd rather close our eyes

E5   D5       C5
sing soothing lullabies

E5    D5      C5               G1
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea

G G G4 G1 G G G4

E5  D5      C5
The water's rising now

E5  D5      C5
and we will surely drown

E5  D5      C5
if we don't turn around
