There's a hole in the roof

And the rain's coming down

The roads are flooded

There's no way back to town

And the ship we came in on
A            B
Has just run aground

You know fate has a funny way

F#m
The memories we've buried,
F#m
have just taken seed,

When spring time comes

they'll turn into weeds,

Oh, they'll carve our names like scripture
       E7
to the soles of our feet
     C#
Each footprint that they take
     C#
it will tell of our beat
F#m                  A         B
Til the night of the following rain
C#
Til the flow tide comes to swallow the beach

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