A                      Dbm                     D    Gbm
The atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how:
A                      Dbm              D    Gbm E
The clouds above opened up and let it out.
      A                             Dbm
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
          D                 Gbm   E
When the water filled every hole.
    A                                 Dbm
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
                     D                Gbm    E
Making islands where no island should go, oh no.

Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
A                         Dbm                  D           Gbm
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.

Verse:
    A                               Dbm
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands to your door have been
D                Gbm
Silenced forever more.
    A                                 Dbm
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
         D                   Gbm      E
It seems farther than ever before, oh no.
