[B] [A]
[C#m] [C#m]
When [B] [A]
[C#m]
the night [E] shows, [A] the signals grow on radios
[C#m]
All the strange [G#] things, [F#m] they come [B] and go as [Bm] early warnings
[B] Stranded starfish [G#m] have [A] no place to hide
Still waiting [A#] for [B] the swollen [C] Easter [C#m] tide
There's no point [B] in direction, [A#] we cannot [A] even [B]
choose a side
[E] [B] [C#m]
I took the old [B] track, [A] the hollow shoulder across the waters
[C#m]
[G#] On the tall [C#m] cliffs, [A] they were getting older
Her sons and [B] daughters, the jaded [G#m] underworld [A] was riding high
On waves of [F#] steel [B] hurled metal [C] at the [C#m] sky
[B] And as the neon sunk in the cloud, [A#] the rain [A] was warm and soaked [B] the
[E] crowd
Once [B]
the [C#m] flood [B] will say goodbye [G#]
to [C#m] flesh and blood
If [Cm] again, [G#]
the sea is silent [C#m] in any still alive
[Cm] It'll be [A#] those [G#] who gave [F#] their island [A] to survive
[Am] Drink up, [Bm] dreamers, [D] [E] you're running dry
[C#m] When the flood [B] calls, [A] you have no home, you have no walls
[C#m]
In the thunder [B] crash, [A] you're a thousand miles within a flash
[B] Don't be afraid [G#m] to cry [A] of what you see
The [A#] actors [B] gone, there's only [C] you and [C#m]
me
And [G#m] if we break before the dawn, [A#] we'll use [A] up what [E] we used to be
Lord, [B] here comes [C#m] the flood
We'll
[B] say goodbye [G#] to flesh [C#m] and blood
If [Cm] again, the sea is silent in any still alive
[Cm] It'll be [A#] those [G#] who gave their [F#] island [A] to survive
Drink [Am]
up, [Bm] [D] dreamers, [E] you're running dry
