Intro: CG/BD/GbCG/BD/GbCG/BD/GbG
The wind came round and blew this place apart
CG/BD/GbG
It's you and me now sitting in the dark
CG/BD/GbG
The lights are out and everybody's home
CG/BD/GbGCG/BD/GbCG/BD/Gb
It's you and me and we are both alone
CG/BD/GbG
The lines are down there's just no getting through
CG/BD/GbG
You stare at me and I stare back at you
CG/BD/GbG
And in the dark I know that I can't see
CG/BD/GbG
'Cause here you are and still you don't see me
Chorus:
CGDG
Act of nature, act of god
CEmD
Raging through our sedentary lives
CG
We are on the brink
DEm
We are floundering
CGDCG/BD/GbCG/BD/Gb
Spinning in this dark and rising tide
CG/BD/GbG
The storm has blown this great big beauty down
CG/BD/GbG
The branches all confusion on the ground
CG/BD/GbG
I've watched it grow and thought I knew it well
CG/BD/GbGCG/BD/GbCG/BD/Gb
I never dreamed I'd see the day it fell
Bridge:
CG
So bolt the door, seal the cracks
DG
Close your eyes don't look back
CGD
Hold your ears tight against the roar
CG
Someone said I should hear
DEm
Warning cries, soft and clear
CGD
Whispered in the calm before the storm
Chorus:
CGDG
Act of nature, act of god
CEmD
Raging through our sedentary lives
CG
We are on the brink
DEm
We are floundering
CGDCG/BD/GbCG/BD/Gb
Spinning in this dark and rising tide
Outro:
CG/BD/GbG
The wind came round and blew this place apart
