E
In a matter of time
D
There'll be a friend of mine
Bm
Gonna come to the coast
A
You're gonna see him

Up close for a minute or two
D G
While the ground cracks under you.

E
By the look in your eyes
D
You'd think that it was a surprise
Bm
But you seem to forget
A
Something somebody said
E
About the bubbles in the sea
D G
And an ocean full of trees

Well, it's hard to believe
D
So you get up to leave
Bm
And you laugh at the door

That you heard it all before
E
Oh it's so good to know
D G
That it's all just a show for you

E
But when the suppers are planned
D
And the freeways are crammed
Bm
And the mountains erupt
A
And the valley is sucked
E
Into cracks in the earth
D G Cmaj7
Will I finally be heard by you
