Water came through the windows, up the stairs 
D         A          D          Am 
chilling there, like an ocean everywhere 
             D                 
don’t want to reach for me, do you? 
Am                      E                            C 
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away 
                   Am             
and now there will be no mistaking 
D 
the levees are breaking 


D                        C 
all you've ever wanted... 
              Am                   D 
Was someone to truly look up to you 
    E   D    Am    C      D   E 
and six feet under water, I do...

Hope decays, generations disappear 
D     A       D            A 
Washed away, as a nation simply stares 
            D            
don’t want to reach for me, do you? 
Am                     E                             C 
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away

but now there will be no mistaking

Oh... Oh... 
The little things give you away... the little things give you away 
All you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you
