Verse 1
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
Oh morning  come bursting, the clouds amen
G G 
 
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
Bring    back the water, let your ships roll in
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
G G 
 
In my heart    she left a hole
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
The tightrope that I'm walking
just sways and ties
G G 
 
The devil as he's talking
with those angel's eyes
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
And I        just want to be there
when the lightning strikes
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
G G 
 
And the saints   go marching in

Chorus 1

Cadd9

G

And sing slow it down

Fadd9

Through chaos as it swirls

Cadd9

G

It's us against the world

Verse 2
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
Like a river    to a raindrop, I lost a friend
G G 
 
My drunken as a Daniel in a lion's den
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
And tonight    I know it all has to begin again
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
G G 
 
So whatever       you do, don't let go
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
And if we could float    away
G G 
 
Fly up to the surface and just start again
And lift off before trouble
Fadd9 Fadd9 
 
Just erodes    erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us in the rain
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
Just erodes    us and see roses
G G 
 
In the rain
