Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Looking out  my window,
 what do I see?
 Seven hundred  houses,
 scattered in front  of me.
 Silence all  around me,
 deafening  the air.
 Not a sign  of anyone,
 I just have  to stare.
 What is  this madness?
 My hopes and dreams  are sand.
 All the signs that led  me home
 are scattered to  the wind.
 I’m searching for  my friends,
 and shaking in  my skin.
 Where have all of my  saints gone?
 Will they come marching  in?
 What can be done?
 Another storm to overcome.
 What can be done?
 What can be done?
 Another storm to overcome.
 Now
 Let’s pick up  the pieces
 from this tragedy.
 You and I must come  to terms
 with this reality.
 I’m lost,  and I’m looking,
 my city’s washed  away.
 But you know that I’ll  be back,
 I’m coming back  to stay.
 End on a C chord.)
