E7
Let's write a story of a tidal wave
We run out of luck, we run out of days
We run out of gas a hundred miles away from a station
There's a war and a plague, smoke and disaster
Lions in the coliseum, screams of laughter
Motherless children, a witness and a Bible
Nothing but rain ahead, and no chance for our survival

A                            E7
Just before the flood comes, just before the night falls

A                          G        E7
Just before the blood runs into the valley

A                       G                          A
Just before my eyes go, just before we can't go no further

G             A               E7
Love throws a line to you and me


Heard someone calling me from very far away
Sister, oh, sister, did I hear them say
Prisoner of this endless story of pain
You hold the key, try to find a way

Just before the flood comes, just before the night falls
Just before the blood runs into the valley
Just before my eyes go, just before it all blows to pieces
We see love throw a line to you and me


E7
Love, throw a line,  love, throw a line
Love, you better pick up your pace, if we're gonna win this race
Love, we're running out of time, pull yourself up from behind
Love, throw a line
