    	    	Вступление

[Intro]

  A      C#m    F#m
 Bm      F#m    E


[Verse 1]

         A          C#m     F#m
As fireworks burst over the land
             Bm                               F#m    E
I could've sworn I felt the influence of an unseen hand
       A       C#m            F#m
The ghost of someone else's dream
          Bm                    F#m        E
A forgotten god stopping by to survey the scene


          A             C#m            F#m
And the lights were complicated and so we all just
Bm                    F#m        E
Prayed to the spirits above and below
          A                C#m            F#m
That the water would never reach us in time
             Bm                    F#m        E
But I had a feeling that we'd never get to 2009


[Chorus]

A                         Amaj7
Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah
   A                       F#m            E
We didn't wanna swim but the cities were sinking
         A                         Amaj7
Though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through
  A                       F#m            E
The ground that was shaking, the bass was thumping


           E                            F#m                   D
There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim
D
There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning
      E                        F#m                 D
And now's as good as any as a time and place to begin


[Verse 2]

   A                C#m            F#m
On TV, they said the storms wouldn't last
           Bm                                F#m        E
But their answers didn't correlate to the questions we'd asked
               A                     C#m            F#m
They said, "A spark that's gone is not a spark to mourn
            Bm                    F#m        E
You can't resuscitate a person who was never born"

        A                  C#m            F#m
So I climbed to the tallest building in town
           Bm                          F#m              E
To see the rain rushing in, to feel my heart breaking down
                     A             C#m            F#m
And as the blue sheen drew nearer I saw a window to another world
                Bm                    F#m        E
Strange fish I'd never seen and in that moment I realized


[Chorus]

A                         Amaj7
Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah
   A                       F#m            E
We didn't wanna swim but the cities were sinking
         A                         Amaj7
Though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through
  A                       F#m            E
The ground that was shaking, the bass was thumping

           E                            F#m                   D
There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim
D
There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning
      E                        F#m                 D
And now's as good as any as a time and place to begin


[Bridge]

A
I should have known this was coming, yeah
         D                     E
It could not have been more obvious
A
Like the flood that Noah dreamed about
        D                 E
Except bigger and more ominous

A
I should have seen this was unfolding, yeah
          D                     E
It could not have been more obvious
A
Like the flood that Noah dreamed about
         D                E
Except bigger and more ominous

A D E A


[Outro]

A                         Amaj7
Every moment lost someone else has won
A                       F#m            E
Every time you breathe there's another gone
A                         Amaj7
Every passing second is a minute late
A                       F#m         E
Every breath can escalate a hurricane

A                              Amaj7
And do you think we'd realize just what we'd done
A                       F#m            E
Tore down the canvas that held up the sun?
A                         Amaj7
We ripped down the canvas hung up above

            A
But what if we were created to gaze
         A
What if we were created to gaze at the stars up above?

A                         Amaj7
Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah
   A                       F#m            E
We didn't wanna swim but the cities were sinking
         A                         Amaj7
Though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through
  A                       F#m            E
The ground that was shaking, the bass was thumping
