E7Let's write a story of a tidal wave
We run out of luck, we run out of days
We run out of gas a hundred miles away from a station
There's a war and a plague, smoke and disaster
Lions in the coliseum, screams of laughter
Motherless children, a witness and a Bible
Nothing but rain ahead, and no chance for our survival
AJust before the flood comes, E7just before the night falls
AJust before the blood runs Ginto the E7valley
AJust before my eyes go, Gjust before we can't go no Afurther
GLove throws a Aline to you and E7me
Heard someone calling me from very far away
Sister, oh, sister, did I hear them say
Prisoner of this endless story of pain
You hold the key, try to find a way
Just before the flood comes, just before the night falls
Just before the blood runs into the valley
Just before my eyes go, just before it all blows to pieces
We see love throw a line to you and me
E7Love, throw a line,  love, throw a line
Love, you better pick up your pace, if we're gonna win this race
Love, we're running out of time, pull yourself up from behind
Love, throw a line

Love throws a line to you and me

Heard someone calling me from very far away

Sister, oh, sister, did I hear them say

Prisoner of this endless story of pain

You hold the key, try to find a way

Just before the blood runs into the valley

Just before my eyes go, just before it all blows to pieces

Love, throw a line, love, throw a line

Love, you better pick up your pace, if we're gonna win this race

Love, we're running out of time, pull yourself up from behind

Love, throw a line
