The Flood

C   G    Am     F
C   G    C
C   G    Am     F
C   G    C


[Verse 1]
C      G         Am     F
  Here comes the flood again
C          G             Am     F
  Watch it fall from the sky
C         G               Am           F
  Feel it soak through my flesh and my blood
C         G          C
  Feel it burn in my eyes

[Chorus 1]
           F        C          G
When I say how much more can I take?
           F              C             G               Am
I know the water’s rising up, watch the waves crest and break
                F        C     G
And though I’ve made not but a sound
                  F    C    G
I fear that I may dr………o…………own……
                  C        G    Am      F
I fear that I may drown

C       G       C

[Verse 2]
C      G         Am    F
  Here comes the wind again
C           G           Am      F
  Cold that cuts to the bone
C         G             Am           F
  Pack my bags and I’ll head out the door
C        G        C
  Here I am on my own

[Chorus 2]
           F        C          G
When I say how much more can I stand?
          F                 C                G                   Am
I know my walls are falling down; I left the rocks and chose the sand
                F      C       G
And though I’ve no one left to blame
                     F    C     G
Still, I cursed your n……  a………  ame……
              F         C       G       Am
I cursed your name

F       C          G
F       C          G    Am
F       C          G


[Verse 3]
C         G               Am    F
  So    now the         en…………  d……
C           G            Am      F
  What I’ve been running from
C             G          Am          F
  Though I’ve tried I cannot lift my head
C          G      C
  Oh, what have I become?


[Chorus 3]
           F        C          G
When I say how much more can I take?
          F               C           G               Am
I know my time is running short, I am broken and I’ll break
                F      C       G
And though I’ve worn myself so thin
                F   C     G
I’m coming home a………gai………n……
             F      C       G
And though I do not know my heart
               F               C                G                  Am
Well, I know myself down to my bones, but if my bones should come apart
               F       C       G
Then I’ll have nothing left to give
                   F    C       G      Am
But if you take me in
                 F      C       G
I’m coming home  a……    g…………   ain……
               F        C       G      Am
If you take me in,
                 F      C       G
I’m coming home  a……    g…………   ain……
