Sinking City

Intro 

Bb Bb7 Eb Eb Ab Fm Bb 


Bb 
I’m making my way through New Orleans 
F 
With a drink swished in my hand 
Ab 
I’ve been to the parties across the city 
Bb 
And buried my head in the sand 
Bb 
Cause the city is sinking day by day 
F 
And the water rises at night 
Ab 
So all we’ve got to do is party away 
Bb 
And hope it all holds tight 

Bb 
So I wrestle my way through main square 
F 
And I dance the night away 
Ab 
Cause all I wanna do is be something new 
Bb 
And live another day 
Bb 
But the rest of the world doesn’t care 
F 
They keep letting us down 
Ab 
And if everybody don’t stop burning 
Bb 
Then this city is gonna drown 



Eb 
Cause the sea keeps rising 
Bb 
And the city is falling down 
Ab 
And the tides are changing 
Bb                     C 
As the world begins to drown 
Eb 
So raise a glass to the past 
Bb 
And hold your lovers tight 
Ab 
Cause this time were gonna get drunk 
Bb                   C 
And have a real good time

Bb 
All the men in suits they turn their heads 
F 
Cause they don’t wanna know 
Ab 
What the damage they’ve done really costs 
Bb 
From their motor home 
Bb 
So the city goes under a tidal wave 
F 
A storm brews in the night 
Ab 
And the sandbags fall under the weight 
Bb 
Of a hurricane full of fight 


Eb 
Cause the sea keeps rising 
Bb 
And the city is falling down 
Ab 
And the tides are changing 
Bb                     C 
As the world begins to drown 
Eb 
So raise a glass to the past 
Bb 
And hold your lovers tight 
Ab 
Cause this time were gonna get drunk 
Bb                   C 
And have a real good time
