Verse 1:
      C               Dm
We scoff and roll our eyes
             Am                                  F
Yeah, we've heard this all before in a different guise
      C               Dm
These shrill alarmist fears
          Am                                   F
We don't deign to entertain them, covering our ears

Chorus:
   C                                Dm
So where will we go when the waters threaten to wash us away?
    Am                                F
And all of our sons and our daughters wilt in the heat of the day?
C                           Dm
I feel the sun draw nearer, I feel the sea start to rise
Am                                F
Who's looking back in the mirror? Why are they closing -
F                          C
Why are they closing their eyes?

Verse 2:
         C             Dm
Now that heavy curtain sways
        Am                                      F
And the man who stands behind tries to give his name
      C                             Dm
So we ask ourselves, "Who stands to gain?"
         Am                                       F
Soon our tired talking points are feeling awfully strained

Chorus:
   C                                Dm
So where will we go when the waters threaten to wash us away?
    Am                                F
And all of our sons and our daughters wilt in the heat of the day?
C                           Dm
I feel the sun draw nearer, I feel the sea start to rise
Am                                F
Who's looking back in the mirror? Why are they closing -
F                          C
Why are they closing their eyes?

Chorus:
   C                                Dm
So where will we go when the waters threaten to wash us away?
    Am                                F
And all of our sons and our daughters wilt in the heat of the day?
C                           Dm
I feel the sun draw nearer, I feel the sea start to rise
Am                                F
Who's looking back in the mirror? Why are they closing -
F                          C
Why are they closing their eyes?

Outro:
F                   F                      Am
Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?
F                   F                      Am
Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?
F                   F                      Am
Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?
F                   F                      C
Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?
