( C#4/7  C#m7  E/B  A ) 4x 
 
C#m	       B6        A 
When the night shows and signals grow on radios 
C#m	        B6          A 
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings 
B                 Abm7    A	 
Stranded starfish have no place to hide 
      A        F#/Bb   B       Ab/C   C#m 
Still waiting  for the swollen Easter tide 
       C#m7/B		         F#/Bb  F#m/A A	       E 
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even  choose a side 
 
C#m	       B6         A 
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water, 
C#m	          B6          A 
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters, 
B              Abm7      A	 
The jaded underworld was riding high, 
    A         F#/Bb       B     Ab/C    C#m 
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky, 
    C#m7/B		                F#/Bb    F#m/A    A	      E 
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd. 
 
E	   B/Eb	     C#m 
Lord, here comes the flood 
B	      Ab/C		  C#m 
We'll say goodbye,  to flesh and blood 
    Ab/C                        C#m 
If again the seas are silent in any still alive 
Ab/C     Ab/Bb     Ab         Ab/F#  A 
It'll be those who gave their island to survive 
      Am Bm C        D	      E 
Drink up,   dreamers,  you're running dry 
 
C#m	       B6         A 
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls, 
C#m	          B6          A 
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash, 
B                  Abm7    A	 
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see, 
    A       F#/Bb         B    Ab/C    C#m 
The actor's gone, there's only you and me, 
    C#m7/B		                 F#/Bb  F#m/A   A	E 
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be. 
 
E	   B/Eb	     C#m 
Lord, here comes the flood 
B	      Ab/C		 C#m 
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood 
   Ab/C                         C#m 
If again the seas are silent in any still alive 
Ab/C     Ab
