Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][F][Dm][Gm][Dm]
[Gsus4][Dm][F][Dm][Gm]
[F][Dm][Gsus4]
[Gm][Gsus4][Dm][F][C]

[Verse 1]
The streets of [C]persuasion[Bb]
Are plated with [G]gold[C]
Your heart's in the right place,
But [Bb]you travel down the [G]wrong [C]road
Like so many before [Bb]you
The gates open [G]wide
Here come the [C]rising tide (rising tide)
[Bb]

[Verse 2]
[G][Gsus4][G]
Let's [F]go out to[G]night[Gsus4][G]
There's a mys[Am]tery
underneath the neon [F]light
Before life and dreams col[G]lide
'Cause [Am]the truth's gonna
come and cut me open [F]wide
And you can[Dm]'t escape the
[Em]rising of the tide
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[C]
Keep up [Bb]your appearance; you're joining
[G]the choir[C]
With everybody singing out [Bb]"Glory,
Hallelu[G]jah" [C](Hallelujah)
The time came for your solo
[Bb]But there was nowhere to h[G]ide
Here come the [C]rising
tide (rising tide)
[Bb]

[Verse 4]
[G]
And [F]the company you [G]keep,
[Gsus4][G]
Well they [Am]plan your crucifixion
as we [F]speak
So, baby 'til life and
the dream col[G]lide
There's gonna be a [Am]mystery
underneath those [F]neon lights
If you can[Dm]'t decipher just
[Em]who's on your side[Am]
You will [Dm]not escape the [Em]rising o[E]f the tide
[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Dm][Am][G][C][Dm]

[Verse 5]
Can [C]you tell me brother? Was [Dm]I deceived,
or [C]in [Dm]denial?
I was [C]there, in the back of the room,
[Dm]when you t[F]estified
[G]

[Verse 6]
With your [Am]pitchfork tongue,
you licked your lips and [F]lied
We're never gonna know
how hard you [G]cried
When you peti[Am]tioned and your
access was [F]denied
'Til the [Dm]venom in your vein
[Em]s is satis[E]fied[Am]
'Til you suf[Dm]focate and swal
[Em]low down the pride
[F]

[Verse 7]
Well you can[Dm]'t escape
(Y[Eaug]ou can't [E]escape)
Yeah, you can[Am]'t escape
(You can't escape)
No, you can[D]'t escape
[Dm]the [Em]rising of the tide

[Outro 1]
[Am]
