The Turning of the Tide by Chris Robson
[Intro]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
[verse]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
Just cos you were standing at the back, does that mean you’re not to blame
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 G F
Just because you didn’t see, does that mean you’re not the same
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
As those who cast the bloody stone, and now you try to stand alone
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 G
Try to camouflage deceit, but the shoes don’t fit your feet.
[chorus]
F G C Fmaj7
Through the clearing of the haze, I can clearly see your face
F G F C
And as they get into their stride it’s the turning of the tide.
[verse]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
They want to start another war, you won’t say but you’re not sure
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 G F
Try to justify your mind, leave your feelings far behind.
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
And when they see through your disguise, when they open up their eyes
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 G
When they see what you’ve become, is that when you start to run.
[chorus]
F G C Fmaj7
Through the clearing of the haze, I can clearly see your face
F G F C
And as they get into their stride it’s the turning of the tide.
[refrain]
G F C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
You don’t fool anyone with your lying
G F C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Oh no not even half the time.
G F C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
You don’t ever see the dying
G F G F C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
You won’t bare witness to the crime, at the turning of the tide.
[verse]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
And when I finally make you see, that you’re not the same as me
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 G F
Will it be too late to try, try to make you change your mind.
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
And if you ever turn around, will you listen to the sound
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 G
Will you listen to the screams, come to haunt you in your dreams.
[chorus]
F G C Fmaj7
Cos through the clearing of the haze, you will finally see their face
F G F C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
And as you get into your stride it’s the turning of the tide.
F G F C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
And as you get into your stride it’s the turning of the tide.
F G F C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
And as you get into your stride it’s the turning of the tide.
[Outro]
