_ _ [B] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ When the night [E] shows the signals grow on [C#m] radios
All the [B] strange things they come and go [A] as early warnings
Stranded starfish [E] have no place to hide [A] Still waiting for [B] the swollen [C#m] Easter tide
[E] There's no point [B] in direction, we [A] cannot even choose [E] a side
_ _ _ [C#] _ I took the old [E] track, the hollowed shoulder Across the [C#m] waters, [C#] on the tall [B] cliffs
They were [E] getting older, sons and daughters [G#m] The teetied underworld [B] was [A] riding high
On [F#] waves of steel [B] held metal [C#m] at the sky And as [B] the nails sunk in the cloud
The [A] rain was warm and soaked [E] the crowd
_ _ _ Lord, _
[B] here comes [C#m] the flood _ _ _ [B] We'll say goodbye [Cm] to flesh and [C#] blood _ _

_ [B] in the [F#] valley of waste by the river not [E] held in stance
[D] _ [B] Rain on the town [F#] by half a mile per year, [E] my old man
_ [D] _ _ [B] Every night, [G#] I catch the sun, and [A] I struggle _ [E] _ I'm drunk, I'm buried up, so next to the [C] fire
I'm in the _ palm [B] _ [F#] trees, _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [G] _ _
[Em] _ _ [B] I'm [A] out and gone with the day
Don't you ever [D] _ [B] sigh, don't you [F#] ever cry, [G#m] _
_ [D] don't _ [E] you ever fall, [G#]
don't you [A] _ _ [E] ever cry
[B] _ _
[G#] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] I'm doing better, [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ even the car, now I'm keeping it ready
Living it up, toss out the light, jump to the chain
[D#m] Can't afford it all, [F#] I'm capped to zero
This brand new street, the vehicle stands in my yard
[D]
It's [A] not easy, [D] no, it's not [A] easy, me [E] and friends

_ I [Em] could stay _ _
