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