[Verse 1]
F#mThere's a hole in the roof
F#mAnd the rain's coming down
C#The roads are flooded
C#There's no way back to town
F#mAnd the ship we came in on
AHas just run Baground
F#mYou know fate has a funny way
C#of coming around
[Solo]
F#m  [ 4 bars, Instrumental/solo]
[Verse 2]
F#mThe memories we've buried,
F#mhave just taken seed,
C#When spring time comes
C#they'll turn into weeds,
F#mAnd they'll creep through your window to
Asmother your Bdreams,
F#myou know fate has a funny way
C#of comin' around
[Solo]
F#m  [ 2 bars, Instrumental/solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, they'll Bmcarve our names like Ascripture
to the E7soles of our feet
Each C#footprint that they take
it wiC#ll tell of our beat
F#mTil the night of the Afollowing Brain
C#Til the flow tide comes to swallow the beach
[Verse 3]
F#mThis bottle of bourbon's
F#mnow dry as a bone,
C#It drank us all up and then
C#it left us alone,
F#mWell we sense whats to come,
Abut we can't choke it Bdown,
F#myou know fate has a funny way of coming around

F#m

[Verse 1]

F#m

There's a hole in the roof

F#m

And the rain's coming down

The roads are flooded

There's no way back to town

F#m

And the ship we came in on

A B

Has just run aground

F#m

You know fate has a funny way

of coming around

[Solo]

F#m [ 4 bars, Instrumental/solo]

[Verse 2]

F#m

The memories we've buried,

F#m

have just taken seed,

When spring time comes

they'll turn into weeds,

F#m

And they'll creep through your window to

A B

smother your dreams,

F#m

you know fate has a funny way

of comin' around

[Solo]

F#m [ 2 bars, Instrumental/solo]

[Chorus]

Bm A

Oh, they'll carve our names like scripture

to the soles of our feet

Each footprint that they take

it will tell of our beat

F#m A B

Til the night of the following rain

Til the flow tide comes to swallow the beach

[Verse 3]

F#m

This bottle of bourbon's

F#m

now dry as a bone,

It drank us all up and then

it left us alone,

F#m

Well we sense whats to come,

A B

but we can't choke it down,

F#m

you know fate has a funny way of coming around
