C#
 The streets of persuasion
B         G#
 Are plated with gold
C#
 Your heart's in the right place,
     B          G#
But you travel down the wrong road
C#
 Like so many before you
B        G#
 The gates open wide

        C#     B G#
Here come the rising tide

   C#     G#
Let's go out, tonight
      Bbm             F#
There's a mystery underneath the neon lights
C#           G#
Before life and dream collide
      Bbm                F#
Cause the truth's gonna come and cut me open wide
     F#        Fm     Bbm
And you can't escape the rising of the tide

C#            B          G#
 Keep up your appearance, you're joining the choir
C#
 With everybody singing out
 B     G#
"Glory Hallejuah"
C#
 The time came for your solo
B            G#
 But there's nowhere to hide

         C#    B G#
Here come the rising tide

     C#     G#
And the company you keep
     Bbm              F#
Well they plan your crucifiction as we speak
        C#         G#
So, baby 'till life and dream the collide
          Bbm              F#
There's gonna be a mystery underneath those neon lights
     F#      Fm        Bbm
If you can't decipher just who's on your side
     F#        Fm     Bbm
You will not escape the rising of the tide

C#                       Bbm
Can you tell me brother? was I deceived, or in denial?
C#                        D#   G#
I was there, on the back of the room, when you testified
      Bbm                    F#
With your pitchfork tongue, you licked your lips, and lied
          C#        G#
We're never gonna know how hard you cried
      Bbm              F#
When you petitioned and your access was denied
      F#      Fm     Bbm
'Till the venom in your veins is satisfied
      F#      Fm       Bbm
'Till you suffocate and swallow down the pride

     F#
Well you can't escape
   A
(You can't escape)
   Bbm
Yeah you can't escape
   A
(You can't escape)
    F#        Fm      Bbm
No you can't escape the rising of the tide
