The Flood

     A         E      F#m
I remember the day it came
E          F#m           A       E
Washed everything in a humbling blue
A              E        F#m
Highways and prairies the same
E               F#m            A        E
Drowned in the flood like the prayers we knew
    A           E         F#m
And I lost all track of my time
     E           F#m          A          E
In some other current much faster than mine
    A             E           F#m
It took down the trees by the river
E      F#m              E        A
Like advice that would never be given
D                      A    E
Laid back down with my eyes closed
A            D          A    E
Let all my air out of my nose
A           D             A       E
Let all my dirt melt to glorious mud
A            D               A         E
Smiled for a while six feet under the flood

    A           E       F#m
And I couldn't find my boots
     E        F#m  A    E
The water, it was knee-high
A         E    F#m
So I laid in my bed
     E              F#m          A  E
And stared out my window at the dry sky
    A           E  F#m
And I woke up underneath
E        F#m   A        E
All that was humbled in blue
A        E     F#m
Realized I was more
      E           F#m       A      E
More comfortable than my mother's stew
F#m         E           A   D
Laid back down with my eyes closed
   F#m           E         A   D
I let all the air out of my nose
  F#m          E            A     D
I let all my dirt melt to glorious mud
A             F#m            E          A
Smiled for a while six feet under the flood
