Inauguration Day chords by Phil Taylor

Verse 1:
  Am             F                     Am              Dm
A lightning bolt shatters the door and I am caught off guard
C             Em         Am
Pinned to the wall as my eyes swim in stars
    F            G          Am
You reach in and swallow my heart

Chorus:
F       E
How far will it go
    Am    C            F
The ocean continues to rise;
    C    G        D      F
But I am swimming like a shark
       Am     E       Am
In the waters of your eyes

Verse 2:
Am      F        Am                   Dm
Take me dancing— dance with me on the moon;
C                Em           Am
Revolve with the worlds while below us unfurls
    F     G           Am
The earth howling its doom

Verse 3:
    Am                 F                     Am                       Dm
The flowers that bloom erupt in the gloom to garland our pathway with life
C       Em             Am
Pluck a corsage for an adorned homage
      F            G         Am
As we dance in the deepening night

Chorus:
F       E
How far will it go
    Am    C            F
The ocean continues to rise;
    C    G        D      F
But I am swimming like a shark
       Am     E       Am
In the waters of your eyes

Verse 4:
    Am                       F                  Am                      Dm
The song that we play's interrupted to say that today is the day of our dread
    C       Em          Am
The Capitol lawn is now o'ergrown with thorns
          F            G         Am
That have consumed the unwilling land.

Verse 5:
Am                 F                   Am                       Dm
Soft we lay on inauguration day as our hearts become brittle as stone
        C    Em     Am
And yet even if the world implodes
   F       G        Am
My hand is yours to hold.
    C    Em     Am                F       G        Am
Yes even if the world implodes my hand is yours to hold.

Chorus:
F       E
How far will it go
    Am    C            F
The ocean continues to rise;
    C    G        D      F
But I am swimming like a shark
       Am     E       Am
In the waters of your eyes

Outro:
    C      G        D      F
Yes I keep swimming like a shark;
       Am          E            Am
