Chorus:
E minorEm A augmentedA
Fast as you can
E minorEm A augmentedA
Run to the water
E minorEm A augmentedA Asus2Asus2
Cool as I am
C majorC C/BC/B E minorEm
I'll give you shelter
Verse 1:
E minorEm A augmentedA
This place is built to make you smaller
E minorEm A augmentedA
To keep your face out of the light
E minorEm A augmentedA Asus2Asus2 C majorC C/BC/B E minorEm
Around the cities growing taller through the night
E minorEm A augmentedA
And then a symphony of laughter
E minorEm A augmentedA
Cuts though the air of foreign tongues
E minorEm A augmentedA
And you are back at where you started:
Asus2Asus2 C majorC C/BC/B E minorEm
All alone
Chorus:
E minorEm A augmentedA
So fast as you can
E minorEm A augmentedA
Run to the water
E minorEm A augmentedA Asus2Asus2
Safe in my hands
C majorC C/BC/B E minorEm
I'll bring you home
Bridge:
A minorAm D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD x2
A minorAm
There's nothing I can do
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
There's water coming through, I can sense it
A minorAm
And I swim the whole night through
D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
But in spite of all I do I'm defenceless
A minorAm E minorEm
So I'll try to pretend I was always alone
A minorAm E minorEm
And with a handful of pills I'll divide us
A minorAm E minorEm
'cause with millions of miles between arrow and bow
A minorAm E minorEm
It is easier to kill it with silence
A minorAm D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
So to hide from our hundreds you went underhill
A minorAm D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Where the treeroots grew into your bones
A minorAm D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I tell all my friends you are living there still
A minorAm D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
In the teeth of the chaos above
A minorAm E minorEm
Hammer hits head but the nail doesn't move
A minorAm E minorEm
Though the blows throwing sparks all around
A minorAm
It is never too late
E minorEm
But today is too soon
G+G Fm/G C majorC
So for now you must stay underground
Chorus:
E minorEm A augmentedA
So fast as you can
E minorEm A augmentedA
Run to the water
