Verse One:

  A        E    D
As fireworks burst over the land,
      B                A   B
I could've sworn I felt the influence of an unseen hand -
A      E       D
the ghost of someone else's dream,
   B             A     B
a forgotten god stopping by to survey the scene.


    A         E     D
And the lights were complicated and so we all just
B            A     B
prayed to the spirits above and below
     A         E        A
that the water would never reach us in time,
      B               A  B
but I had a feeling that we'd never get to 2009...

Chorus:

A            E    A
Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah,
  D              A      E
we didn't want to swim but the cities were sinking
       A               E      A
and though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through
  D                A    E
the ground that was shaking and the bass was thumping.
        D          A
There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim
      D                 A
(There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning)
  D             A         D  E
and now's as good as any as a time and place to begin...

Verse Two:

  A         E        D
On TV, they said the storms wouldn't last
     B                A       B
but their answers didn't correlate to the questions we'd asked.
     A               E    D
They said "A spark that's gone is not a spark to mourn,
      B             A   B
you can't resuscitate a person who was never born."

   A           E        D
So I climbed to the tallest building in town
      B              A       B
to see the rain rushing in, to feel my heart breaking down
      A               E      D
and as the blue sheen drew nearer I saw a window to another world,
B                A        B
strange fish I'd never seen, and in that moment I realized:

A            E    A
Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming
  D              A      E
we didn't want to swim but the cities were sinking
       A            E    A
and though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through
  D                A    E
the ground that was shaking and the bass was thumping.
     D             A
There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim
      D             A
(There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning)
       D        A
and now's as good as any as a time and place to begin...

Bridge:

A
I should have known this was coming, yeah,
  D            B
it could not have been more obvious.
A
Like the flood that Noah dreamed about
    D        B
except bigger and more ominous.
A
I should have seen this unfolding, yeah,
  D            B
it could not have been more obvious.
A
Like the flood that Noah dreamed about
    D        B
except bigger and more ominous.

OR you could just play A D B the same way you did during the bridge

Verse Three:

A             E    D
Every moment lost someone else has won,
B               A    B
every time you breathe there's another gone.
A             E   D
Every passing second is a minute late,
B              A  B
every breath can escalate a hurricane.

  A               E     D
And do you think we'd realize just what we'd done -
B             A      B
tore down the canvas that held up the sun?
  A              E  D
We ripped down the canvas hung up above,
      B
but what if we were created to gaze, what if we were created to gaze at the

stars up above?

A            E    D
Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah,
  B              A      B
we didn't want to swim but the cities were sinking
       A            E    D
and though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through
  B                A    B
the ground that was shaking and the bass was thumping.
