There's a hole in the roof
F# minorF#m
And the rain's coming down
C#C#
The roads are flooded

There's no way back to town

And the ship we came in on

You know fate has a funny way
C#C#
of coming around

F# minorF#m
The memories we've buried,
F# minorF#m
have just taken seed,
C#C#
When spring time comes
C#C#
they'll turn into weeds,
F# minorF#m
And they'll creep through your window to
A augmentedA      BB
smother your dreams,

you know fate has a funny way
C#C#
of comin' around

      B minorBm          A augmentedA
Oh, they'll carve our names like scripture
    E7E7
to the soles of our feet
   C#C#
Each footprint that they take
   C#C#
it will tell of our beat
F# minorF#m         A augmentedA     BB
Til the night of the following rain
C#C#
Til the flow tide comes to swallow the beach

Verse 3:
F# minorF#m
This bottle of bourbon's
F# minorF#m
now dry as a bone,
C#C#
It drank us all up and then
C#C#
it left us alone,
F# minorF#m
Well we sense whats to come,
A augmentedA          BB
but we can't choke it down,
F# minorF#m
you know fate has a funny way of coming around
