The windows turned to fishbowls
E
The city to seas
A D D/C#
The cars were drowning underneath your feet
Bm7 E
The children were swimming from the top of the trees
A D D/C#
Crowds of umbrellas were staring in mis-belief
Bm7
Well Mary kept sewing
E
Holding on to her TV
A D D/C#
Even if the water was rising past her knees
Bm7
Now here comes the river
E
Coming on strong
A D D/C#
And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters
Bm7
Here comes the river
E
Over the flames
A D D/C#
Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away
Bm7
Sometimes
E
Sometimes you got to just
( Bm7 E A D D/C# )
Bm7 E
Nobody told you it was going to be this hard
A D D/C#
Something's been building behind your eyes
Bm7
You lost what you hold onto
E
You're losing control
A D D/C#
There ain't any words in this world that's gonna cure this pain
Bm7 E A
Sometimes it's going to fall down on your shoulders
D D/C#
But you're going to stand through it all
Bm7 E
Here comes the river coming on strong
A D D/C#
And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters
Bm7 E
Here comes the river over the flames
A D D/C#
Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away
Bm7
Sometimes
E
Sometimes you're cast adrift
