verse 1: 
Em 
  It's a struggle 
         C    G 
just to stay alive

A brute force wind keeps  
   C         G 
us huddled inside

is going under 
D 
  The violence will  
C        G     D   
tear us asunder

it figured like 3 4 5 
D 
  But now the city's  
C       G 
burning down 
D 
  To the sea or  
C      G     D   
higher ground 


Chorus 2: 
        G          C    G 
But the sea is too far away
