[Verse 1]
Cm Dm7b5
I wake up to the tolling of the bell
G Cm G
And I feel the water swell
Cm
It's been coming up, slowly rising
Dm7b5
Hard to believe that it's not surprising
G Cm
I've lost the foreground watching the horizon
[Chorus]
Cm
The rising tide doesn't raise all boats
Dm7b5
There are some of us who can't float
G Cm
Some of us are working in the mud
Cm
Not being innocent don't make me guilty
Dm7b5
You can't keep your hands clean when it's filthy
G Ab G
See the water dimmed with human blo—od
Fm G7 Cm
There's no justice drowning in the flood
[Instrumental]
Cm Dm7b5 Dm7b5 G Cm Cm
[Verse 2]
Cm Dm7b5
I wake up as the light begins to bend
G Cm
And I watch the night descend
Cm
After a dutiful lifetime of dreams
Dm7b5
Trickling riches and muffled screams
G
The centre can't hold, it gyres to the extremes
[Chorus]
Cm
The rising tide doesn't raise all boats
Dm7b5
There are some of us who can't float
G Cm
Some of us are working in the mud
Cm
Not being innocent don't make me guilty
Dm7b5
You can't keep your hands clean when it's filthy
G Ab G
See the water dimmed with human blo—od
Fm G7 Cm
There's no justice drowning in the flood
