Guitar chords with lyrics

Put the capo on 2nd fret and go from there.  If you want to simplify the chord
diagram, just use the base chords shown(without /extensions, which I think sounds good too).


Intro
(C4/7  Cm7  Eb/Bb  G#) 4x

Cm	       Bb6        G#
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
Cm	        Bb6          G#
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
Bb                 Gm7    G#
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
      G#        F/A   Bb       G/B   Cm
Still waiting  for the swollen Easter tide
       Cm7/Bb		         F/A  Fm/G# G#	       Eb
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even  choose a side

Cm	       Bb6         G#
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
Cm	          Bb6          G#
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
Bb              Gm7      G#
The jaded underworld was riding high,
    G#         F/A       Bb     G/B    Cm
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
    Cm7/Bb		                F/A    Fm/G#    G#	      Eb
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.

Eb	   Bb/D	     Cm
Lord, here comes the flood
Bb	      G/B		  Cm
We'll say goodbye,  to flesh and blood
    G/B                        Cm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/B     G/A     G         G/F  G#
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
      G#m Bbm B        C#	      Eb
Drink up,   dreamers,  you're running dry

Cm	       Bb6         G#
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
Cm	          Bb6          G#
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
Bb                  Gm7    G#
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
    G#       F/A         Bb    G/B    Cm
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
    Cm7/Bb		                 F/A  Fm/G#   G#	Eb
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.

Eb	   Bb/D	     Cm
Lord, here comes the flood
Bb	      G/B		 Cm
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
   G/B                         Cm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/C     Ab]/Bb     Ab         Ab]/F#  A]
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
      G#m Bbm B        C#	      Eb
Drink up,   dreamers,  you're running dry
