[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
I've been waiting for a flood
G
to come and wash this whole town out
C G
with its tired golden idols and its fame
[Verse 2]
G
the streets I loved have turned to rust
G
the sons of dreamers turned to dust
C G
until sins beyond the game that can't be found
[Chorus]
G Em D
Now theres a storm over my home town
C G Em
a mighty thunder shakes the ground
Am C D
its waking up my children from their sleep
Em D
Across the fields of long forgotten hymes
C G
some lose out and some give in
Am C G
we stand alone right here in the land of the living
[Verse 3]
G
Hey Mr. DJ hear my prayer
G
sometimes I think theres no one there
C G
every night I drive these empty roads alone
[Verse 4]
G
Outside of town under the stars
G
theres families sleeping in their cars
C G
and I guess theres no one going home tonight
[Chorus]
G Em D
Now theres a storm over my home town
C G Em
a mighty thunder shakes the ground
Am C D
its waking up my children from their sleep
Em D
Across the fields of long forgotten hymes
C G
some lose out and some give in
Am C G
we stand alone right here in the land of the living
[Break]
G Am Am7 C G
[Verse 5]
G
We're free as water between the stones
G
and moving out to sea alone
C G
every day we get lost in the tide
[Chorus]
G Em D
Now theres a storm over my home town
C G Em
a mighty thunder shakes the ground
Am C D
its waking up my children from their sleep
Em D
Across the fields of long forgotten hymes
C G
some lose out and some give in
Am C G
we stand alone right here in the land of the living
[Outro]
Am C G
we stand alone right here in the land of the living
G Am Am7 C G
