 Standing on the roof  my daddy built
 Looking at the rising  of  the silt
 Everything I ever  loved is underneath
 But what the river wants,  the river keeps
 I used to believe  in  fortune
 And that in the hands  of  God
 Everybody gets  no  more  than they deserve
 But the more I see the less  I understand
 Watching as the water  swallows  the land
 I’m starting to believe  there was never  a plan
 That the world’s  gone mad
 Something’s out of order, out of place
 Nothing we were taught  is happening  today
 If you are the maker  watching down
 What a mess you’re making  on this town
 I used to believe in  fate
 And the will of karma
 I used to believe in  the way  the penny  dropped
 But the more I see the less  I understand
 Watching as the water  swallows  the land
 I’m starting to believe  there was never  a plan
 That the world’s  gone mad
 I will not leave
 I will not leave
 No, I will not leave
 ‘Til the water takes me
 ‘Cause the more I see  the less  I understand
 Watching as the water  swallows  my land
 I’m starting to believe  there was never  a plan
 That the world’s  gone mad
 The more I see  the less  I understand
 Watching as the water  swallows  the land
 I’m starting to believe  there was never  a plan
 That the world’s  gone mad.

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
Standing on the r[Am]oof my d[Am]add[G]y [Am]built
Looking at the r[F]ising o[F]f t[C]he [F]silt
Everything I e[Am]ver loved is u[Am]nde[G]rn[Am]eath
But what the river w[D]ants, the river k[F]eeps

I used to bel[Dm]ieve i[G]n f[Am]ortune
And that in the h[Dm]ands o[G]f G[Am]od
Everybody g[Dm]ets n[G]o mo[Am]re than they dese[G]rve

But the more I see the l[C]ess I u[G]nderst[F]and
Watching as the w[C]ater sw[G]allows the l[F]and
I’m starting to bel[C]ieve there was n[E]ever a pl[F]an
That the w[G]orld’s gone ma[C]d [G]   [F]      [Dm]         [F]           [G]

Something’s out of [Am]order, [Am]out [G]of [Am]place
Nothing we were t[F]aught is h[F]appe[C]ning tod[F]ay
If you are the m[Am]aker w[Am]atch[G]ing [Am]down
What a mess you’re m[D]aking on this t[F]own

I used to b[Dm]elieve [G]in f[Am]ate
And the will of k[Dm]arm[G]a [Am]
I used to bel[Dm]ieve [G]in the [Am]way the pe[G]nny dropped

But the more I see the l[C]ess I u[G]nderst[F]and
Watching as the w[C]ater sw[G]allows the l[F]and
I’m starting to bel[C]ieve there was n[E]ever a pl[F]an
That the w[G]orld’s gone mad [Am]    [Em]       [F]          [Am]             [C]               [F]                  [Am]                     [Em]                        [F]                           [E11]                               [E]

I will not l[Am]eav[C]e [F]
I will not l[Am]eav[C]e [F]
No, I will not l[Am]eav[C]e [F]
‘Til the water t[E11]akes [E]me

‘Cause the more I s[C]ee the le[G]ss I underst[F]and
Watching as the w[C]ater swa[G]llows my l[F]and
I’m starting to beli[C]eve there was n[E]ever a pl[F]an
That the wor[G]ld’s gone mad

The more I s[C]ee the l[G]ess I underst[F]and
Watching as the w[C]ater sw[G]allows the l[F]and
I’m starting to bel[C]ieve there was n[E]ever a pl[F]an
That the wo[G]rld’s gone mad.[Am]
