C#C#
 The streets of persuasion
BB         G#G#
 Are plated with gold
C#C#
 Your heart's in the right place,
     BB          G#G#
But you travel down the wrong road
C#C#
 Like so many before you
BB        G#G#
 The gates open wide

        C#C#     BB G#G#
Here come the rising tide

   C#C#     G#G#
Let's go out, tonight
      BbmBbm             F#F#
There's a mystery underneath the neon lights
C#C#           G#G#
Before life and dream collide
      BbmBbm                F#F#
Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wide
     F#F#        F minorFm     BbmBbm
And you can't escape the rising of the tide

C#C#            BB          G#G#
 Keep up your appearance, you're joining the choir
C#C#
 With everybody singing out
 BB     G#G#
"Glory Hallejuah"
C#C#
 The time came for your solo
BB            G#G#
 But there's nowhere to hide

         C#C#    BB G#G#
Here come the rising tide

     C#C#     G#G#
And the company you keep
     BbmBbm              F#F#
Well they plan your crucifiction as we speak
        C#C#         G#G#
So, baby 'till life and dream the collide
          BbmBbm              F#F#
There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
     F#F#      F minorFm        BbmBbm
If you can't decipher just who's on your side
     F#F#        F minorFm     BbmBbm
You will not escape the rising of the tide

C#C#                       BbmBbm
Can you tell me brother? was I deceived, or in denial?
C#C#                        D#D#   G#G#
I was there, on the back of the room, when you testified
      BbmBbm                    F#F#
With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips, and lied
          C#C#        G#G#
We're never gonna know how hard you cried
      BbmBbm              F#F#
When you petitioned and your access was denied
      F#F#      F minorFm     BbmBbm
'Till the venom in your veins is satisfied
      F#F#      F minorFm       BbmBbm
'Till you suffocate and swallow down the pride

     F#F#
Well you can't escape
   A augmentedA
(You can't escape)
   BbmBbm
Yeah you can't escape
   A augmentedA
(You can't escape)
    F#F#        F minorFm      BbmBbm
No you can't escape the rising of the tide
