The Flood

• C

Intro: C

C
Turn the lights out, in the light house, 
I saw you coming, 
Am
Felt the ship wreck 
Saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling,
F 
Just a mess when I saw your reflection in the sand,
C 
Wondering where you were washed up, 
Or I ran to the water, Mmmmm,
F 
I can put my hands down in it,
C 
But I won't bring nothing up,
Am                             G (strum once)
Sitting on the shore all day, waiting on the tide to come 

         C                  Am
But you can't hold on to water
                           G 
It fills you up but never stays
                       F 
It's only good to wash away today 
         C                Am
and your loving me like water
                                G 
Your slippin' through my fingers such
                  F 
A natural disaster love
               C              Am 
Bringing on the flood, the flood
               G             F 
Love me like a flood, a flood 
Bring it on 

C                             
Stay tonight out, by the beach house, it's all so quiet
Am 
Lit a candle candle, by the window, so you might find it
F 
Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home 
C
Still, I can't help but think, I could have saved you from drowning, 
Ohhh, oh,
F 
I can put my hands down in it, yeah,
C 
But I won't bring nothing up,
Am 
Sitting on the shore all day
G 
Just waiting on the tide to come, 

  C                  Am
But you can't hold on to water
                           G 
It fills you up but never stays
                       F 
It's only good to wash away today 
         C                Am
and your loving me like water
                                G 
Your slippin' through my fingers such
                  F 
A natural disaster love
               C              Am 
Bringing on the flood, the flood
               G             F 
Love me like a flood, a flood 
Bring it on 

F                           Am
I knew the waves were icy, when I felt them all retreating,
F 
Went to take a dive in the deep end,
G 
Woah, what was I thinking? 

  C                  Am
But you can't hold on to water
                           G 
It fills you up but never stays
                       F 
It's only good to wash away today 
         C                Am
and your loving me like water
                                G 
Your slippin' through my fingers such
                  F 
A natural disaster love
               C              Am 
Bringing on the flood, the flood
               G             F 
Love me like a flood, a flood 
Bring it on 

 
Outro: C, Am, G, F

Ohohohoh Ohohohoh 
Rising and falling in my dreams, 
Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean, 
(The ocean, the ocean) my tears that fill the ocean 
Ohohohohoh
