VERSE 1 (same as intro):
                     Em  Em/F  
And if the waters rise up
FAnd drown out the Cmaj7whole Emcity
And all of the houses where we live
A shimmering light spinning
Each of the waves bearing a name,
The name of the body
Somewhere below
VERSE 2 (try power chords):
And to all the Amsaints who drowned in the Gsea,
I am Fstill here Cwith you
And if there’s Amnothing living to Gbe,
I will Fbe here Cwith you
VERSE 1:
And when all of this has turned its course
I'm gonna see you
Not always walking,
Always walking through the door
Did you build walls up,
Did you build them up all around you
To keep you from,
To keep you from the howling wind
VERSE 2:
And to each one seeking the words that they need,
I'll stand beside you now
And to each one listening to wind in the trees,
My voice behind you now
And I can see she's one of us
In how I stand beside you now

VERSE 3:
 F   C   G   Dm(x2)
  FDo you think when he Cdied
He was aGlone
There in the Dmroom with yellow walls
When I left it was rising
Not the sun this time
The tide if I recall
And we built up a fire,
To remind us of the people,
The people that we are
And the flames rose like spires
In the houses there
And we lost way and said,
"Do you think when I die,
I'll be alone
Deep in the room with yellow walls?
Will you leave when it's rising up all around you,
All around you?"
And you built me a fire
To remind you of the person,
The person that he was
The flames rise like spires
In the houses
And this person there says,
CHORUS (as before):
  F"This Cis Amwhere we Gare.
FThis Cis Amwhere we Gare.
  FDon't Cbe AmfrighGtened."

And when all of this has turned its course

Always walking through the door

Did you build walls up,

Did you build them up all around you

To keep you from,

To keep you from the howling wind

And to each one listening to wind in the trees,

My voice behind you now

And I can see she's one of us

In how I stand beside you now
