Here Comes The River

Bm7                   
The windows turned to fishbowls 
E 
The city to seas 
A                           D                 D/C# 
The cars were drowning underneath your feet 
Bm7                        E         
The children were swimming from the top of the trees 
A                                   D           D/C# 
Crowds of umbrellas were staring in mis-belief 
Bm7 
Well Mary kept sewing 
E 
Holding on to her TV 
A                            D               D/C# 
Even if the water was rising past her knees 
Bm7 
Now here comes the river 
E 
Coming on strong 
A                                                 D       D/C# 
And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters 
Bm7 
Here comes the river 
E 
Over the flames 
A                                     D             D/C# 
Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away 
Bm7 
Sometimes 
E 
Sometimes you got to just 

( Bm7  E  A  D  D/C# ) 

Bm7             E 
Nobody told you it was going to be this hard 
A                            D             D/C#  
Something's been building behind your eyes 
Bm7 
You lost what you hold onto 
E 
You're losing control 
A                                                D           D/C# 
There ain't any words in this world that's gonna cure this pain 
Bm7       E                               A 
Sometimes it's going to fall down on your shoulders 
                    D                    D/C# 
But you're going to stand through it all 
Bm7                  E 
Here comes the river coming on strong 
A                                                 D        D/C#  
And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters 
Bm7                  E 
Here comes the river over the flames 
A                                     D            D/C# 
Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away 
Bm7 
Sometimes 
E 
Sometimes you're cast adrift
