F#m E G#m x2
Verse
F#m E
The tide is high, sandbag your street!
G#m
Converging, swelling channels meet
F#m E
The torrent roars, banks are breached
G#m
Stay calm, be cool, a part at least

Chorus
B G#m
The brakes are on, controlled retreat
A
Quick-go-slowly, heart valve weak

Fairness flounders, sincere cheats
A
Disgraced champions, taste defeat

Barricade your first floor doors
G#m
Evacuate your sick and poor
Chorus
B G#m
Be larger picture, stronger, deep
A
Be good, be bad, be more, elite...

A prince of bread, a pint of peace
A
In Middle Earth, in Middle East
