[G]Sure as hell [D]we [Em]all got [Am]caught,
imagine what my [D]Papa thought
The water's [G]coming,
run[Em]ning for higher [Am]ground

tell them on the [Em]mountain you're from
[Am]Un derwater to[D]wn
The water's com[G]ing,
[Em]rushing down the stree[Am]t
[D]The water[G]'s coming
everywhere you [Em]look,
it's gonna be [Am]deep, [G]deep[C], d[D]eep

[G]An d I was in my [Em]upstairs room
[Am]Prayin' Papa get [D]back soon
[G]Mama couldn't [Em]pack enough
Try[Am]in' to save our c[D]lothes and stuff

[Em]Run for higher g[Am]round
[D]The water's com[G]ing
to tell them all [Em]about your throne
[Am]Oh, underwater t[D]own,
the water's [G]coming
[Em]Rushing down the s[Am]treet
[D]Oh, the water's com[G]ing
And everywhere you [Em]look

[Am]An d left us in a railro[D]ad shack
[G]Papa [D]mus[G]t have los[Em]t his way
Some[Am]where in the [D]rain that day
[G]Mama don't [Em]believe he's dead,
[Am]voices echo in [D]my head
