  Simply by collecting up tin cans and empty bottles

  We all want to believe it's true,  but it don't matter what you do

  So long as we continue to burn our way through fossils

  King Tide is a-comin', bringing floodin' on a sunny day

  King Tide is a-comin', gonna sweep everything away

  Thinking as you look around, this is your lucky day
G+G         G+G       D MajorD           E minorEm
  But everyone beneath the sky  soon be looking for somewhere high and dry
C majorC         G+G      D MajorD        G+G
  Nothing you can ever do will keep them all at bay because
