The Flood

 
       Em        D 
I was told by a statue 
       C 
That disaster is natural 
          Em            D            C 
That the flood doesn't know who you are 
          Em         D 
That the pouring of petrol 
    C 
Is the idea central 
         Em        D             C 
To the circle of friends at the bar 
 

 
                  C 
But what about meaning? 
             D 
What about water? 
             Em                D 
What about pulling a building down? 
           C                           D 
I cannot function in this man-made destruction 
                    Em 
Can't silence the ocean 
         D 
Now the times run out

           Em 
I don't belong here 
                    D 
Some like foreign object 
             C 
What do you mean when you say that we're not 
            Em 
When this planet is burning 
      D 
Everything is like turning 
     C 
In circles in search of something that's 
 

 
            C 
Not about meaning? 
            D 
Not about water? 
              Em                   D 
What about pulling this building down? 
           C                          D 
I cannot function in this man-made destruction 
                    Em 
Can't silence the ocean 
        D 
Now the times run out 

Em  D  C  C   4x 
Aaaaaaah 
 

 
                       Em          D      C 
Somewhere out there, there's a man 
                     Em            D      C 
Who thinks he made nature 
                       Em          D      C 
Somewhere out there, there's a man 
                     Em            D      C 
Who thinks he made nature
