[Intro]
(A4/7 Am7 C/G F) (x4)
[Verse 1]
Am Am/G F
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
Am G F
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
G Em7 F
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
D/F# G Em Am
Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
Am7/G D/F# Dm/F C
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even choose a side
[Verse 2]
Am Am/G F
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
Am Am/G F
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
G Em7 F
The jaded underworld was riding high,
D/F# G Em Am
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
Am7/G D/F# Dm/F C
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.
[Chorus]
C G/B Am
Lord, here comes the flood
G E/G# Am
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
E/G# Am
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
E/G# E/F# E E/D F
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Fm Gm G# A# C
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
[Verse 3]
Am G6 F
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
Am G6 F
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
G Em7 F
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
D/F# G E/G# Am
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
Am7/G D/F# Dm/F G# C
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.
[Chorus]
C G/B Am
Lord, here comes the flood
G E/G# Am
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
E/G# Am
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
E/G# E/F# E E/D F
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Fm Gm G# A# C
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
