Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2):

Verse 1

same as intro):

And if the waters rise up

And drown out the whole city

And all of the houses where we live

A shimmering light spinning

Each of the waves bearing a name,

The name of the body

Somewhere below

Verse 2

try power chords):

And to all the saints who drowned in the sea,

I am still here with you

And if there’s nothing living to be,

I will be here with you

Verse 1

And when all of this has turned its course

I'm gonna see you

Not always walking,

Always walking through the door

Did you build walls up,

Did you build them up all around you

To keep you from,

To keep you from the howling wind

Verse 2

And to each one seeking the words that they need,

I'll stand beside you now

And to each one listening to wind in the trees,

My voice behind you now

And I can see she's one of us

In how I stand beside you now

Chorus

x2):

This is where we are

This is where we are

Don't be frightened

Verse 3

Do you think when he died

He was alone

There in the room with yellow walls

When I left it was rising

Not the sun this time

The tide if I recall

And we built up a fire,

To remind us of the people,

The people that we are

And the flames rose like spires

In the houses there

And we lost way and said,

"Do you think when I die,

I'll be alone

Deep in the room with yellow walls?

Will you leave when it's rising up all around you,

All around you?"

And you built me a fire

To remind you of the person,

The person that he was

The flames rise like spires

In the houses

And this person there says,

Chorus

as before):

"This is where we are.

This is where we are.

Don't be frightened."
