Flood chords by Benjamin Cissner
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
When (A minor) the (F major) river wears the levee (C major) down
We've (D minor) got to run to (A minor) higher ground
When (F major) fear and flood are (C major) all around
And it (D minor) feels like we won't
be for long (A minor)
When the (F major) water's well up
and the floodgates (C major) give way
The (D minor) tears all but drown
what you're trying (A minor) to say
When your (F major) quivering voice
is submerged (C major) in dismay
It (D minor) seems you can't suffer
the storm (A minor) (C major)
Waters may rise, (G major) hard rains may fall
(F major) And wash all the blame (A minor) from your hands
(C major) Well after the storm
(G major) When fear changes form
(F major) You find your feet bur (A minor) ied in sand
It's the kiss (F major) on the lips
Of infatu (C major) ous tongues
It's (D minor) the taste of the mouth
Stealing breath (A minor) from your lungs
It's that (F major) mo ment in peril,
as (C major) time lingers long,
It's (D minor) the sound of naivete's (A minor) song.
So let tears (F major) of the surf,
soot your eye (C major) lids with mist,
As (D minor) the tides take you further
into (A minor) the abyss,
For (F major) solace and heartache
shall (C major) soon be dismissed
By an (D minor) ocean indifferent
and strong (A minor) (C major)
Waters may rise, (G major) hard rains may fall
(F major) And wash all the blame (A minor) from our hands
(C major) After the storm, (G major)
when fear changes form
(F major) We'll find ourselves bur (A minor) ied
in sand (C major) (G major) (F major) (A minor) (C major)
(G major) (F major) (A minor)
