Verse:
    Am7Am7        G+G       FF       C majorC   Am7Am7 G+G FF C majorC
We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well
  Am7Am7      G+G      FF         C majorC   Am7Am7 G+G FF C majorC
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
      Am7Am7      G+G       FF      C majorC  Am7Am7 G+G FF C majorC
But we are not snakes and what?s more we never will be
      Am7Am7        G+G        FF     C majorC Am7Am7 G+G FF C majorC
And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free

            G+G          C majorC
I heard ?em ringin? the bells in heaven and hell
       G+G              A minorAm
They got a secret they?re gettin ready to tell
             FF          C majorC  FF
Its fallin? from the skies, callin? from the graves
Am7Am7    G+G     FF      C majorC
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved
Am7Am7    G+G     FF      C majorC
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved

                FF            C majorC
Let?s take a walk on the bridge right over this mess
             G+G             A minorAm
Don?t need to tell me a thing baby, we?re already confessed
              DmDm         C majorC  FF
And I raise my voice to the air, and we were blessed
FF      C majorC   FF      C majorC
It's hard to give, It's hard to get
     FF      C majorC      G+G C majorC  Am7Am7 G+G FF C majorC  C majorC  Am7Am7 G+G FF C majorC
But everybody needs a little forgiveness

Verse:
    Am7Am7        G+G     FF      C majorC  Am7Am7 G+G FF C majorC
We are calling for help tonight on a thin phone line
  Am7Am7     G+G          FF     C majorC   Am7Am7 G+G FF C majorC
As ususal we?re havin? ourselves one helluva time
    Am7Am7           G+G
And the planes keep flyin? right over our heads
     FF       C majorC   Am7Am7  G+G  FF   C majorC
No matter how loud we shout, Hey...Hey...Hey...
      Am7Am7                G+G
And we keep wavin? and wavin? our arms in the air
         FF  C majorC  Am7Am7 G+G FF C majorC
But we?re all tired out

         G+G         C majorC
I heard somebody say, Today?s the day
      G+G              A minorAm
A augmentedA big old hurricane...she?s blowin? our way
         FF             C majorC   FF
Knockin? over the buildings, Killin? all the lights
Am7Am7    G+G       FF         C majorC
Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night
Am7Am7    G+G       FF         C majorC
Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night

Its hard to live baby, still I think it's the best bet
