Intro: Am Am You can see the water coming out of the ground Dm You can see the foundation slipping down Am But you can't help but wonder how long it will be Dm Before the restless ocean comes lapping through the branches of the trees F When the full moon pulls up a mighty tide and there's no place to run and no place to hide E When the ghosts in the ocean turn up the sea and the waves come crashing over you and me Am Dm I can see it coming, I can see it coming Am Dm I can see it coming, I can see it coming Am When the distance is the ? of the ? day (?) When the sun calls forth its wandering rays Dm When all of the island has gone to rust And every living thing has turned to dust Am There won't be anyone left to float your boat They all went to high ground while their vessels couldn't float Dm They scream God's will but you know it's a lie But you own book it says, "by fire next time" F But the golden age cracked open and there was nothing inside (?) E Cast off the ? , build a levy of lies (?) Am Dm I can see it coming, I can see it coming Am Dm I can see it coming, I can see it coming F Bite down on the leather and close your eyes E There's nothing to be done that could turn the tide F The money in your eyes has left you blind E You'll be the one drowning when it's swimming time Am Dm I can see it coming, I can see it coming Am Dm I can see it coming, I can see it coming Am Dm (4x)
