Intro: D G C G | D G C | X2

  D        G        C      G
  We gotta get to a higher place
         D     G        C*    
  And we gotta leave by night
    D         G     C        G
  Before that river takes us down
           D        G            C*
  We gotta find somewhere that's dry

  D        G              C     G
  We gotta run like we've never run,
           D     G        C
  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



  D            G            C          G
  Well, I fool myself and I don't know why
    D                G         C*  
  I thought we could ride this out
        D      G            C     G
  I was up all night making up my mind
      D     G       C*
  But now I got my doubts...

    D      G          C     G
  I got my eye on the water-line
            D       G        C
  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


     G                 C
     We gotta get to a higher place
           G                  C
     And I hope we all arrive together
     G                 C
     We gotta get to a higher place
           G        C           G   C       
     If we wanna survive... the weather!

  Break: Verse chords X1

  D   G      C       G
  I remember walking with her in town,
      D        G      C*  
  Her hair was in the wind
    D        G       C        G
  I gave her my best kiss
      D       G      C*
  She gave it back again


  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
