( C#4/7C#m7E/BA7+ ) 4x
C#mB6A7+
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
C#mB6A7+
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
BAbm7A7+
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
AF#/BbBAb/CC#m
Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
C#m7/BF#/BbF#m/AAE
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even choose a side
C#mB6A7+
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
C#mB6A7+
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
BAbm7A7+
The jaded underworld was riding high,
AF#/BbBAb/CC#m
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
C#m7/BF#/BbF#m/AAE
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.
EB/EbC#m
Lord, here comes the flood
BAb/CC#m
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
Ab/CC#m
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
Ab/CAb/BbAbAb/F#A7+
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
AmBm/AC/AD/AE/B
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
C#mB6A7+
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
C#mB6A7+
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
BAbm7A7+
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
AF#/BbBAb/CC#m
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
C#m7/BF#/BbF#m/AAE
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.
EB/EbC#m
Lord, here comes the flood
BAb/CC#m
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
Ab/CC#m
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
Ab/CAb/BbAbAb/F#A7+
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
AmBm/AC/AD/AE/B
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
