[Verse 1]
G G D Em
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could save the world and all
C G D D
Simply by collecting up tin cans and empty bottles
G G D Em
We all want to believe it's true, but it don't matter what you do
C G D G
So long as we continue to burn our way through fossils
[Verse 2]
G G D Em
Now it should come as no surprise to learn about the ocean's rise
C G D D
Polar caps are melting with every year that the planet warms
G G D Em
Now people have to understand we're going to feel it far inland
C G D G
It's gonna shift the seasons and super-charge the storms
[Chorus]
G G D Em
King Tide is a-comin', King Tide is a-comin'
C G D D
King Tide is a-comin', bringing floodin' on a sunny day
G G D Em
King Tide is a-comin', can't you hear the melt waters runnin'?
C G D G
King Tide is a-comin', gonna sweep everything away
[Bridge]
D D C G
And you know, the oceans, they connect us all, no one can just build a wall
D D C G
We have to work together, we can't do this on our own
D D C G
To think that you can stand aside is nothing more than foolish pride
G D Em Bm C D G G G G
'cause everyone's a libertarian till the brown water floods their home
[Verse 3]
G G D Em
Now you may live on higher ground feeling like you're safe and sound
C G D D
Thinking as you look around, this is your lucky day
G G D Em
But everyone beneath the sky soon be looking for somewhere high and dry
C G D G
Nothing you can ever do will keep them all at bay because
[Chorus]
G G D Em
The King Tide is a-comin', King Tide is a-comin'
C G D D
The King Tide is a-comin', bringing floodin' on a sunny day
G G D Em
King Tide is a-comin', can't you hear the melt waters runnin'?
C G D G
The King Tide is a-comin', gonna sweep everything away
C G D G D Em Bm C D G
The King Tide is a-comin', we have to act today
