Water gray, through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain, like an ocean everywhere

E5 D5 C5 B5 C5 D5
Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking


A5 G5 F#5 E5
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

A5 G5 F5 D5 C5 D5
And six feet under water, I do


C5 B5 A5 F#5 G5 F#5
Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away,
As a nation simply stares

E5 D5 C5 B5 C5 D5
Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking


A5 G5 F#5 E5
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

A5 G5 F5 D5 C5 D5
And six feet under water, I do

A5 G5 F#5 E5
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

A5 G5 F5 D5 C5 D5
And six feet underground,

Now I do...
