A C#m D F#m The atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how: A C#m D F#m E The clouds above opened up and let it out. A C#m I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere D F#m E When the water filled every hole. A C#m And thousands upon thousands made an ocean, D F#m E Making islands where no island should go, oh no. Most people were overjoyed, they took to their boats I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door Have been silenced forevermore The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row It seems farther than ever before Oh, no D A F#m E I need you so much closer - x4 F#m C#m I need you so much closer D E I need you so much closer F#m Bm I need you so much closer D A F#m E I need you so much closer - x2 D A F#m E D A F#m E So come on, come on So come on, come on So come on, come on So come on, come on So come on, come on So come on, come on You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  D  E  F#m  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
