 Verse One:
 
    A               E        D    
 As fireworks burst over the land,
            B                                A      B     
 I could've sworn I felt the influence of an unseen hand -
 A            E              D     
 the ghost of someone else's dream,
      B                         A          B     
 a forgotten god stopping by to survey the scene.
 
         A                 E         D             
 And the lights were complicated and so we all just
 B                       A         B  
 prayed to the spirits above and below
          A                 E               A 
 that the water would never reach us in time,
             B                              A   B  
 but I had a feeling that we'd never get to 2009...
 
 Chorus:
 
 A                        E        A            
 Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah,
    D                           A           E      
 we didn't want to swim but the cities were sinking
               A                             E           A      
 and though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through
     D                               A        E        
 the ground that was shaking and the bass was thumping.
                 D                    A                            
 There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim
            D                                 A              
 (There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning)
     D                         A                 D    E  
 and now's as good as any as a time and place to begin...
 
 Verse Two:
 
    A                 E               D   
 On TV, they said the storms wouldn't last
           B                               A              B     
 but their answers didn't correlate to the questions we'd asked.
           A                             E        D     
 They said "A spark that's gone is not a spark to mourn,
             B                          A     B     
 you can't resuscitate a person who was never born."
 
      A                      E               D 
 So I climbed to the tallest building in town
            B                           A              B   
 to see the rain rushing in, to feel my heart breaking down
            A                              E           D           
 and as the blue sheen drew nearer I saw a window to another world,
 B                                A                B        
 strange fish I'd never seen, and in that moment I realized:
 
 A                        E        A     
 Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming
    D                           A           E      
 we didn't want to swim but the cities were sinking
               A                       E        A               
 and though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through
     D                               A        E        
 the ground that was shaking and the bass was thumping.
           D                          A                            
 There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning to swim
            D                          A                     
 (There's a tidal wave coming so you'd better start learning)
              D                A                         
 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                        B       
 it could not have been more obvious.
 A                                     
 Like the flood that Noah dreamed about
        D               B       
 except bigger and more ominous.
 A                                       
 I should have seen this unfolding, yeah,
    D                        B       
 it could not have been more obvious.
 A                                     
 Like the flood that Noah dreamed about
        D               B       
 except bigger and more ominous.

 OR you could just play A D B the same way you did during the bridge
 
 Verse Three:
 
 A                         E        D   
 Every moment lost someone else has won,
 B                              A       B    
 every time you breathe there's another gone.
 A                         E      D    
 Every passing second is a minute late,
 B                           A    B    
 every breath can escalate a hurricane.
 
     A                              E         D     
 And do you think we'd realize just what we'd done -
 B                         A           B   
 tore down the canvas that held up the sun?
    A                           E    D   
 We ripped down the canvas hung up above,
             B                                                              
 but what if we were created to gaze, what if we were created to gaze at the
 stars up above?
 
 A                        E        D            
 Didn't want a wave but a wave was coming, yeah,
    B                           A           B      
 we didn't want to swim but the cities were sinking
               A                       E        D               
 and though we wanted to react we were too busy sleeping through
     B                               A        B        
 the ground that was shaking and the bass was thumping.
