A C#m D F#m E

[Verse]
A C#m D F#m
The atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how:
A C#m D F#m E
The clouds above opened up and let it out.
A C#m
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
D F#m E
When the water filled every hole.
A C#m
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
D F#m E
Making islands where no island should go, oh no.
[Tab]
D A F#m E

[Verse]
A C#m D F#m
Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
A C#m D F#m
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.

[Verse]
A C#m
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands to your door have been
D F#m
Silenced forever more.
A C#m
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
D F#m E
It seems farther than ever before, oh no.
