[Verse 1]
[C]The[Am] windows turned
[C]to [D]fishbowls
The city [G]to seas
The cars were drowning
[C]underneath [Em]your feet[C]
The children were [D]swimming
from the top of the [G]trees
Crowds of umbrellas
were staring in mis-[C]belief
Well Well Mary kept [D]sewing
Holding on [G]to her TV
Even if the water was rising [C]past
her knees
