EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL
D Ddim5 D Ddim5 A9/C# A/C# A9/C# A/C#
D Ddim5 D Ddim5 A9/C# A/C#
I turn the music up, I got my records on I shut the world outside until the
A9/C# A/C#
lights come on
D Ddim5 D Ddim5 A9/C#
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone I feel my heart start
A/C# A9/C# A/C#
beating to my favourite song
D9/F# D/F# D9/F# D/F# A4/C# A/C#
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night until Monday morning
A4/C# A/C#
feels another life
D6/F# D/F# D6/F# D/F# D Ddim5 D Ddim5
I turn the music up I’m on a roll this time and heaven is in sight
A4 A D6 D A4 A D6 D A4 A D6 D
D Ddim5 D Ddim5 A9/C# A/C#
I turn the music up, I got my records on from underneath the rubble sing a
A9/C# A/C#
rebel song
D Ddim5 D Ddim5 A9/C# A/C#
Don’t want to see another generation drop I’d rather be a comma
A9/C# A/C#
than a full stop
D9/F# D/F# D9/F# D/F# A4/C# A/C#
Maybe I’m in the black, maybe I’m on my knees maybe I’m in the gap between
A4/C# A/C#
the two trapezes
D6/F# D/F# D6/F# D/F# D Ddim5 D Ddim5
But my heart is beating and my pulses start cathedrals in my heart
D9 D D9 D A4/C# A/C# A4/C# A/C# D6/F# D/F#
As we saw oh this light I swear you,
D6/F# D/F#
emerge blinking into
D Ddim5 D9 Ddim5
To tell me it’s alright
D9 D D9 D A4/C# A/C# A4/C# A/C#
As we soar walls,
D6/F# D/F# D6/F# D/F#
every siren is a symphony
D9
And every tear’s a waterfall
A4 A D6 D A4 A D6 D A4 A D6 D
Is a waterfall is a waterfall is a waterfall
A4 A D6 D
is a waterfall
E4 D9
So you can hurt, hurt me bad
A/C# D9 A4 A D6 D A4 A D6 D
But still I’ll raise the flag
A4 A D6 D A4 A D6 D
It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
D Ddim5 D Ddim5 A9/C# A/C# A9/C# A/C# (x 2v)
D Ddim5 D Ddim5 A9/C# A/C# A9/C# A/C#
Every tear every tear every teardrop is a waterfall (x 4v)
