Washed

[Verso 1]
 
Am 
Rains they poured, thought we might drown 
Am 
Tree falling everywhere, crash to ground 
Dm 
Cut out way out through that mess after dawn 
Em                                    Am 
Only to find out half of our town was gone 
 


[Refrão]
 
Dm 
Wash away everything 
Am 
Now it dont matter anymore 
G             C 
Wash away our dreams 
G                       Am 
It cant be like it was before 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Am 
Shovel mud off the kitchen floor 
Am 
The redneck air force choppered round 
Dm 
Road between here and there aint there no more 
Em                                       Am 
Neighbors house, Lord, it just cant be found 
 


[Refrão]
 
Dm 
Wash away the highway out of here 
Am 
Water everywhere, none to drink 
G              C 
Wash away life itself 
G                    Am 
Faster than we could blink 
 


[Verso 3]
 
Am 
I hope the homeless camped out down by the river 
Am 
I hope they made it up to higher ground 
Dm 
But it smells like death when you go down there 
Em                                            Am 
Well never really know just how many of them drowned 
 


[Refrão]
 
Dm 
Wash away artist row 
Am 
Buildings crumble into stone 
G               C 
Wash away whole families 
G                                            Am 
Leaving children stranded out there on their own 
 


[Verso 4]
 
Am 
Chainsaws there still buzzin every day 
Am 
Well be digging the better part of a year 
Dm 
Some folks have already bugged out, cant blame em 
Em                                              Am 
There aint nothin left, nothin left for them here 
 


[Refrão]
 
Dm 
Tell me God, why this flood 
Am 
Were you washing away our sin 
G                             C 
Well, you cant wash away our hope 
G                           Am 
But, Christ, thats running thin 
 


[Refrão]
 
Dm 
Wash away everything 
Am 
Now it dont matter anymore 
G              C 
Wash away our dreams 
G                Am 
It cant be like before
