[Verse 1]
E C#m
I knew love in dripping coffee
A B
Flooded streets and rust and rotting
G# C#m
I knew love in drunken talking
A B
'Fore the weather changed.
E C#m
And long before the fever dreams
A B
The pale-faced machinery
G# C#m
For the rain came like artillery
A B
Pulled me underneath the flood.
[Chorus]
G# C#m
And underneath the flood it's quiet
A B
All my thoughts are softly dying
E C#m
All the rain, the rain is silent
A B
Underneath the flood.
[Verse 2]
E C#m
Well I was bred in anxious tryst
A B
All soft of hand and soft of fist
G# C#m
Through sanity so tedious
A B
I'm searching in the blood.
E C#m
Well my hatred needs no victim oh
A B
My hatred like religion
G# C#m
Crucify me while I'm kicking
A B
Pull me underneath the flood.
[Chorus]
G# C#m
And underneath the flood it's quiet
A B
All my thoughts are softly dying
E C#m
All the rain, the rain is silent
A B
Underneath the flood.
[Bridge]
G# C#m
And underneath the flood I'm drowning
A B
Have no friends to gather 'round me
E C#m
Oh my god my greed has found me
A B
Underneath the flood.
G# C#m
And underneath the flood
A B
My tears are turning to the water
E C#m
Rusted coins and crumpled dollars
A B
I sink underneath, sink underneath.
[Verse 3]
E C#m
I sit here in torrential silence
A B
Coffee keeping up my eyelids
G# C#m
Thoughts of you all turn to violence
A B
Trying to find love
E C#m
But I hate how you believed in me
A B
You believed with such cold objectivity
G# C#m
So tired I relinquished everything
A B
Fell underneath the flood.
[Chorus]
G# C#m
And underneath the flood it's quiet
A B
All my thoughts are softly dying
E C#m
All the rain, the rain is silent
A B
Underneath the flood.
