Verse 1:
 F               G
Nature has some new plague
          F            G
To run in our streets
 F                 G
History some new wrinkle
        F            G
We are doomed to repeat
Dm
 Fugitives at the bedroom door
 Am
Lovers pause to find an open store
 G
Rain is burning on the forest floor
         F
And the red tide kisses the shore

This is not a  test


Verse 2:
F                   G
 Stay out of the sun
         F            G
It only burns my skin
F             G
 Sky full of poison
        F                  G
And the atmosphere's too thin
Dm7
 Bless the sun, the rain no more
 Am
River running like an open sore
  G
Black wind falling to the ocean floor
         F
And the red tide washes ashore

This is not a  false alarm

Nowhere we can fly away
            G   C
Nowhere we can rest

The party is disrupted by
   F          Gm7     F    G
An uninvited guest


Verse 3:
F                 G
 Deadline approaches
         F          G
For the weary land
   F                    G
It used to be something
               F                   G
But we let it run down in our hands
 Dm7
Too late for debate, too bad to ignore
 Am
Quiet rebellion leads to open war
  G
Bring a sea-change to the factory floor
        F
As the red tide covers the shore
