A C#m D F#m (2x) E A C#m D F#m The Atlantic was born today, and I'll tell you how. A C#m D F#m E The clouds above opened up and let it out. A C#m I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere D F#m E When the water filled every hole. A C#m And thousands upon thousands made an ocean, D F#m Making islands where no island should go. E Oh no. D A F#m E (4x) A C#m D F#m Most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats. A C#m D F#m E I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat. A C#m The rhythm of my footsteps crossing floodlands to your door D F#m E Have been silenced forever more. A C#m The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row D F#m It seems farther than ever before A Oh no.D A F#m E (2x) D A F#m E So come on, come on {x4}D A F#m E I need you so much closer {x4} F#m C#m D E I need you so much closer F#m Bm D A F#m E I need you so much closer D A F#m E (15x) F#m C#m D E I need you so much closer F#m Bm D A F#m E I need you so much closer
