[Verse 1]
G
Moving lights on an overhead map
c
Have to be headed somewhere
G
There's probably gonna be a building burning in town
D
When you smell smoke in the air
[Chorus]
c
Small hopes are seen to still be small ones
EM G
When the hour grows late
g D G
And a body floating in a water tower is bound to take on weight
[Verse 2]
G
Somebody comes bearing the standard
C
Just when you need to see it held high
G
You never miss your water until you're parched
D
Riding home from the slaughter
[Chorus]
c EM G
Oracles are seen emerging from the northern mists
D G
And a body floating in a water tower is bound at the ankles and wrists
C
Bound at the ankles and wrists
[Bridge]
C G
Marks in the skin
C
From where the ropes have been
D
Digging right in
[Verse 3]
G
Men of legend built the cities of the prairie
c
To rise from the horizon at night
G
Feel something bigger than me
D
When I see them trapped in the headlight
C
Head east, head north by northeast
EM G
Get my bearing and know
D G
That a body floating in a water tower only has one way to go
G c G
Float downstream, let me float downstream
