(......repeat and linger a little...)

        Am7                 G           F            C
We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well

Am7  G  F  C

    Am7          G               F               C
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell

Am7  G  F  C

    Am7          G                         F        C
But we are not snakes and what’s more we never will be

Am7  G  F  C

           Am7                  G            F        C
And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free

Am7  G  F  C

                         G                    C
I heard ‘em ringin’ the bells in heaven and hell
              G                            Am
They got a secret they’re gettin ready to tell
                       F                      C F
Its fallin’ from the skies, callin’ from the graves

Am7        G          F            C
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved
Am7        G          F            C

Let’s take a walk on the bridge right over this mess
                         G                             Am
Don’t need to tell me a thing baby, we’ve already confessed
                            Dm                 C   F
And I raise my voice to the air...and we were blessed

F               C
  It's hard to give
F               C
  It's hard to get
          F          C            G  C
But everybody needs a little forgiveess.

        Am7         G                 F          C
We are calling for help tonight on a thin phone line.
     Am7         G                 F          C
As usual we’re havin’ ourselves one helluva time.
         Am7                 G                       F          C
And the planes keep flyin’ over our heads no matter how loud we shout

Am7        G     F   C
   Hey....Hey...Heyyy

             Am7                    G                                  F  C
And we keep wavin’ and wavin’ our arms in the air but we’re all tired out
                  G                 C
I heard somebody say...today’s the day
                  G                     Am
A big old hurricane...she’s blowin’ our way,
                   F
Knockin’ over the buildings,
                C    F
Killin’ all the lights.

Am7          G            F                  C
  Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night.

F        C              G            Am
hard to give...and I’m never gonna forget.
