verse
G Em C G
oh people , look around you the signs are everywhere
C G F C D Em
you’ve left it for somebody other than you to be the one to care
G Em C C/B A7
you’re lost inside your houses there’s no time to find you now
G D
while your walls are burning and your towers are turning
Em C G
i’m going to leave you here and try to get down to the sea somehow
D
verse
G Em C G
the road is filled with homeless souls every woman , child and man
C G F C D Em
who have no idea where they will go but they’ll help you if they can
G Em C C/B A7
now everyone must have some thought that’s going to pull them through somehow
G D
while the fires are raging hotter and hotter
Em C
but the sisters of the sun are going to rock me on the water now
chorus
