Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
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 we can't go no further
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
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

Readable chord sheet for Love Throw A Line by Patty Griffin

[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]Just before the flood comes, [E7]just before the night falls

[A]Just before the blood runs [G]into the [E7]valley

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

[G]Love throws a [A]line to you and [E7]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
