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