[Verse]
C G
All the drunks under the freeway
Em D
are waiting for some flood to come around
C G
and its so hard to keep my head above water
D C
sometimes I just wanna let go and drown
C G
I live down where the river trash
Em D
washes up all the way to street
C G
and every once in a while
D
I find something worth keeping
C Em
but I still ain't never found my feet
Em G Em G Em G D
C G
and I never paid much mind to storm warnings
Em D
I say what's coming is coming all the same
C G
and its a perk of living under the freeway
D C
that you never get caught in the rain
C G
my whole life they've been talking about the big one
Em D
but I never thought I'd see the day
C G
when a tidal wave worthy of biblical remembrance
D C Em
would come to wash this whole city away
[Chorus]
Em G
and you can try to hold your own against it
Em G
you can stack them sandbags ten-high
Em G
I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft
D C
watching those barricades drift on by
Em G Em G Em G D
[Solo]
C G
they don't hide hope under that freeway
Em D
just one last stop on your way underground
C G
and, no, I don't mind the thought of dying with the city
D C
if we've all gotta drown
C G
'cause there's a peace that comes with drowning
Em D
I think I read that once anyway
C G
a rush of a thing called dimethyltryptamine
D C Em
that comes right as your lungs give way
[Chorus]
Em G
and you can try to hold your own against it
Em G
you can stack them sandbags ten-high
Em G
I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft
D C
watching those barricades drift on by
[Chorus]
Em G
you can try to hold your own against it
Em G
you can stack them sandbags ten-high
Em G
I'll be floating down Main St on a life raft
D C Em
watching those barricades drift on by
