A                      C#m                     D    F#m
the atlantic was born today and i'll tell you how:

A                      C#m              D    F#m
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
when the water filled every hole.

    A                                C#m                       
and thousands upon thousands made an ocean, 
                     D                F#m
making islands where no island should go.

oh no.

those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.

A                         C#m                  D           F#m
i thought it less like a lake and more like a moat. 

    A                                                  
the rhythm of my footsteps crossing 

C#m   
flood lands to your door have been 

D                F#m
silenced forever more.

    A                                 C#m
the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row

         D                 F#m
it seems farther than ever before

oh no.

D           A            F#m          E
i need you so much closer (4x)


F#m        C#m            D           E  
i need you so much closer (4x)
