D G C G | D G Csus2 | X2
[verse]
D G C G We gotta get to a higher place, D G C2 and we gotta leave by night. D G C G Before that river takes us down, D G C2 we gotta find somewhere that's dry.
[verse]
D G C G We gotta run like we've never run, D G C2 or we're gonna lose the light. D G C G If we don't get to a higher place and C G C G find somebody who can help somebody, C G Em Asus2 | Em Asus2 | Might be nobody no more.
[verse]
D G C G Well, I fool myself and I don't know why, D G C2 I thought we could ride this out. D G C G I was up all night making up my mind, D G C2 But now I got my doubts.
[verse]
D G C G I got my eye on the waterline, D G C2 trying to keep my sense of humor, D G C G But if we don't get to a higher place and C G C G find somebody who can help somebody, C G Em Asus2 | Em Asus2 | might be nobody no more.
[bridge]
G Gsus4 We gotta get to a higher place, G Gsus4 and I hope we all arrive together. G5 Gsus4 We gotta get to a higher place, G Gsus4 G Gsus4 if we wanna survive...the weather!

[verse]
D G C G I remember walking with her in town, D G C2 her hair was in the wind. D G C G I gave her my best kiss, D G C2 She gave it back again.
[verse]
D G C G Yeah, when I add up what I've left behind, D G C I don't want to lose no more. D G C G But if we don't get to a higher place and C G C G find somebody who can help somebody, C G Em Asus2 | Em Asus2 | might be nobody no more
