    C            Csus2         C      Csus2
Oh morning come bursting the clouds amen
 G              Gsus4           G    Gsus4
Lift off this blindfold let me see again
      F
And bring back the water let your ships roll in
       C       Csus2      G  Gsus4
In my heart she   left a hole

The tightrope that I’m walking just sways and ties
The devil as he’s talking with those angel’s eyes
And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes
And the saints go marching in

Chorus:
           C Csus2 C Csus2
And sing slow
    G Gsus4 G Gsus4
It down
                      F
Through chaos as it swirls
                     C   Csus2 G Gsus4
It's us against the world

Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend
My drunken hazard Daniel in a lion's den
And tonight, I know it all has to begin again
So whatever you do, don’t let go

And if we could float away
Fly up to the surface and just start again
Lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us and see roses in the rain, saying

Chorus:
Slow it down
Slow it down
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world

                      F C
Through chaos as it swirls
                     G    Gsus4 G Gsus4
It's us against the world
                      F C
Through chaos as it swirls
                     G
It's us against the world
