Wash Us Away Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]On [F]the[C] very first decade
that [F]we got [C]to dream in
Our fathers were angry,
our [F]mother's were [C]screamin'
At the clothes we were wearin'
and the [F]music we [C]got off on
Hitler was dead,
welcome to [F]Babylon

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Carved our initials out acro[F]ss the sand
The [C]heart and the arrow
no [G]one understands
Then [Dm]the tide rolled in and
[F]everything [C]ran
And washed us [G]away, [Dm]washed us away,
[F]was[C]hed us away
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Up in the attic ambition was burning
[F]Now[C] my[F] fi[C]ngers were
bleedin' but the tables were turning
[F]Dow[C]n i[F]n t[C]he city
the future was beckoning
[F]And[C] I [F]hat[C]ed myself on the day of
[F]reckoning [C](oh[F] ye[C]ah)[Dm]

[Verse 4]
Carved our initials on [F]top of the cake
The [C]heart and the arrow,
the [G]rattle and the snake
[Dm]How was I to know that the
[F]Earth was gonna [C]break
And wash us [G]away, [Dm]wash us away,
[F]was[C]h us away
[G]

[Verse 5]
[F]Everything's temporary in this wor[Dm]ld
[C]Ain't it a shame when you
lose [Dm]someone?[F]
Here tomorrow, [Dm]gone [C]today
Wash us [G]away, [Dm]wash us away,
[F]was[C]h us away
[G]

[Verse 6]
There was [C]never a fool like
a young fool alone in
A world without someone
[F]he can find [C]a home in
And for all the wrong reasons
[F]we rescued each [C]other[F][C]
You bandaged my heart I [F]never
would re[C]cov[F]er [C](oh[Dm])
[C]No river

[Verse 7]
[Dm]runs true; it [F]al
ways takes a twist
[C]Hearts can be broken,
ar[G]rows gonna miss
[Dm]How was I to know that it was gonna
[F]come down to [Dm]this[C]
And wash us [G]away?

[Verse 8]
[Dm]And we wrote our names
on the [F]Dead Sea Scrolls
The [C]young and the restless,
[G]the brave and the bold
[Dm]How was we to know it was gonna
get [F]outta [C]control
And wash us [G]away, [Dm]wash us away,
[F]was[C]h us away, [G]wash us away[Dm]
Wash us [F]away, wash us away,
[C]wash us away?

[Outro 1]
