The Flood chords by Cheryl Cole

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,
G (strum once)
Sitting on the shore all day, waiting on the tide to come

     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
     Am
and your loving me like water
                G
Your slippin' through my fingers such
         F
A natural disaster love
        Am
Bringing on the flood, the flood
        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,

 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
     Am
and your loving me like water
                G
Your slippin' through my fingers such
         F
A natural disaster love
        Am
Bringing on the flood, the flood
        F
Love me like a flood, a flood
Bring it on

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?

 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
     Am
and your loving me like water
                G
Your slippin' through my fingers such
         F
A natural disaster love
        Am
Bringing on the flood, the flood
        F
Love me like a flood, a flood
Bring it on


Outro: 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
