Run To The Water

Em          A
Fast as you can
Em          A
Run to the water
Em        A Asus2
Cool as I am
C    C/B      Em
I'll give you shelter

[Verse 1]
Em                              A
This place is built to make you smaller
Em                           A
To keep your face out of the light
Em                        A   Asus2          C C/B Em
Around the cities growing taller through the night
Em                     A
And then a symphony of laughter
Em                     A
Cuts though the air of foreign tongues
Em                            A
And you are back at where you started:
Asus2  C C/B Em
All    alone

[Chorus]
   Em          A
So fast as you can
Em           A
Run to the water
Em         A Asus2
Safe in my hands
C    C/B       Em
I'll bring you home

[Bridge]
Am D Dsus4 D x2

        Am
There's nothing I can do
                                    D Dsus4 D
There's water coming through, I can sense it
      Am
And I swim the whole night through
                             D Dsus4 D
But in spite of all I do I'm defenceless
        Am                   Em
So I'll try to pretend I was always alone
           Am                      Em
And with a handful of pills I'll divide us
            Am                        Em
'cause with millions of miles between arrow and bow
      Am                     Em
It is easier to kill it with silence

       Am                             D Dsus4 D
So to hide from our hundreds you went underhill
           Am                      D Dsus4 D
Where the treeroots grew into your bones
           Am                      D Dsus4 D
I tell all my friends you are living there still
           Am                      D Dsus4 D
In the teeth of the chaos above
           Am                      Em
Hammer hits head but the nail doesn't move
           Am                      Em
Though the blows throwing sparks all around
      Am
It is never too late
    Em
But today is too soon
   G             Fm/G  C
So for now you must stay underground

[Chorus]
   Em           A
So fast as you can
   Em       A
Run to the water
