Intro: D G C G | D G C | X2
D G C G
We gotta get to a higher place
D G C*
And we gotta leave by night
D G C G
Before that river takes us down
D G C*
We gotta find somewhere that's dry
D G C G
We gotta run like we've never run,
D G C
Or we're gonna lose the light
D G C G
If we don't get to a higher place and
C G C G
Find somebody who can help somebody,
C G Em Asus2 | Em Asus2... |
Might be nobody no more
D G C G
Well, I fool myself and I don't know why
D G C*
I thought we could ride this out
D G C G
I was up all night making up my mind
D G C*
But now I got my doubts...
D G C G
I got my eye on the water-line
D G C
Trying to keep my sense of humor
D G C G
But if we don't get to a higher place and
C G C G
Find somebody who can help somebody,
C G Em Asus2 | Em Asus2... |
Might be nobody no more
G C
We gotta get to a higher place
G C
And I hope we all arrive together
G5 C
We gotta get to a higher place
G C G C
If we wanna survive... the weather!

I remember walking with her in town,

Her hair was in the wind

I gave her my best kiss
D G C*
She gave it back again

Yeah, when I add up what I've left behind
D G C
I don't want to lose no more.

But if we don't get to a higher place and
