D G Standing, on the edge of forever Bm At the start of whatever Gbm Shouting love at the world D G Back then, we were like cavemen Bm But we met the moon and the stars Gbm Then we forgave them Em G We will meet you where the lights are Bm Gbm The defenders, of the faith we are Em Where the thunder turns around G Bm They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away Em B You know no one dies Em B In these love drowned eyes Em B Through our love drowned eyes Gbsus4 Gb We'll watch you sleep tonight G D Although no one understood Bm We were holding back the flood Gbm Learning how to dance the rain G D We were holding back the flood A They said we'd never dance again D G Bleeding, but none of us leaving Bm Watch your mouth son Gbm Or you'll find yourself floating home Em G Here we come now on a dark star Bm Gbm Seeing demons, not what we are Em Tiny minds and eager hands G Bm Will try to strike but now will end today Em B There's progress now Em B Where there once was none Em B Where there once was none Gbsus4 Gb Then everything came along G D Although no one understood Bm We were holding back the flood Gbm Learning how to dance the rain G D There was more of them than us A Now they'll never dance again G D Although no one understood Bm There was more of them than us Gbm Learning how to dance the rain G D We were holding back the flood A They said we'd never dance again Em G We will meet you where the lights are, Bm Gbm The defenders, of the faith we are Em Where the thunder turns around G Bm They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away Interlude: G D Bm Gbm G D A G D Although no one understood Bm There was more of them than us Gbm Learning how to dance the rain G D There was more of them than us A Now they'll never dance again G Now we'll never dance again D Bm Gbm G D A Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh aah, Oh ahh, Oh ahh...

How to play The Flood on ukulele
On ukulele, The Flood comes down to the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. The groove sits around 100 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in D major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 2 half-steps, then a capo on fret 2 restores the key you see here. Strum lightly in the verses then hit every beat for the big chorus.
