Put the capo on 2nd fret and go from there. If you want to simplify the chord
diagram, just use the base chords shown(without /extensions, which I think sounds good too).
[Intro]
(C4/7 Cm7 Eb/Bb G#) (x4)
[Verse 1]
Cm Bb6 G#
When the night shows and signals grow on radios
Cm Bb6 G#
All the strange things that come and go as early warnings
Bb Gm7 G#
Stranded starfish have no place to hide
G# F/A Bb G/B Cm
Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide
Cm7/Bb F/A Fm/G# G# Eb
Theres no point in direction, we cannot even choose a side
[Verse 2]
Cm Bb6 G#
I took the old track, the hollow shoulder, across the water,
Cm Bb6 G#
On the tall cliffs, they were getting older, sons and daughters,
Bb Gm7 G#
The jaded underworld was riding high,
G# F/A Bb G/B Cm
And waves of steel hurled metal at the sky,
Cm7/Bb F/A Fm/G# G# Eb
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, The rain was warm and soaked the crowd.
[Chorus]
Eb Bb/D Cm
Lord, here comes the flood
Bb G/B Cm
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
G/B Cm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/B G/A G G/F G#
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
G#m Bbm B C# Eb
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
[Verse 3]
Cm Bb6 G#
When the flood calls, you have no home, you have no walls,
Cm Bb6 G#
In the thundercrash, you're a thousand minds within a flash,
Bb Gm7 G#
Don't be afraid to cry at what you see,
G# F/A Bb G/B Cm
The actor's gone, there's only you and me,
Cm7/Bb F/A Fm/G# G# Eb
And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be.
[Chorus]
Eb Bb/D Cm
Lord, here comes the flood
Bb G/B Cm
We'll say goodbye, to flesh and blood
G/B Cm
If again the seas are silent in any still alive
G/C Ab]/Bb Ab Ab]/F# A]
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
G#m Bbm B C# Eb
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry
