The Flood Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]
Standing on the edge of for[F]ever
At the start of what[Am]ever
Shouting love at the [Em]world
[C]Back then we were [F]like cavemen
But we map the [Am]moon and the stars
Then we for[Em]gave them

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Dm]We will meet you w[F]here the lights are
[Am]The defe[Em]ndants of the faith we are
[Dm]When the thunder turns around
they’ll [F]run so hard we’ll tear the ground a[Am]way
You know [Dm]no one di[A]es
In these [Dm]love drowned [A]eyes
Through our [Dm]love drowned [A]eyes
We’ll watch [E]you sleep tonight

[Chorus 1]
[F]Although no one under[C]stood
We were holding back the flood
[Am]Learning how to dance the [Em]rain
[F]We were holding back the [C]flood
They said we’d never dance [G]a gain

[Verse 1]
[C]Bleeding, but none of [F]us leaving
Watch your [Am]mouth son
Or you’ll find [Em]yourself floating home

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Dm]Here we come now o[F]n a dark star
[Am]Seeing demon[Em]s, not what we are
[Dm]Tiny minds and eager hands will [F]try to strike
but now will end to[Am]day
There’s [Dm]progress [A]now
Where there [Dm]once was [A]none
Where there [Dm]once [A]was none
Then everything [E]came along

[Chorus 2]
[F]Although no one under[C]stood
We were holding back the [Am]flood
Learning how to dance [Em]the rain
[F]There was more of them than [C]us
Now they’ll never dance [G]a gain

[Chorus 3]
[F]Although no one under[C]stood
There was more of them than [Am]us
Learning how to dance [Em]the rain
[F]We were holding back the flood
[C]They said we’d never dance a g[G]ain

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Dm]We will meet you w[F]here the lights are
[Am]The defe[Em]ndants of the faith we are
[Dm]When the thunder turns around
they’ll [F]run so hard we’ll tear the ground a[Am]way

[Chorus 4]
[F]Although no one under[C]stood
There was more of them than [Am]us
Learning how to dance [Em]the rain
(Learning how to dance [F]the rain)
There was more of them than [C]us
Now they’ll never dance [G]a gain
Now we’ll never dance
