So basicly its

Verse: C, Fmaj7
Chorus: G#, A#m, Fm, C#
Break: Am/C, F7, G#, Gm7, C (wish that last C was a maj7, though!)



C
Broken people get recycled

and I hope that I will sometimes be thrown off the pathways
                           Fmaj7
what I thought was my way home

wasn't the place I (know)
C
No, I'm not afraid of changing,

Certain, nothing's certain

what we own becomes our prison
                        Fmaj7
my possessions will be gone
                        C
back to where they came from



G#  A#m  Fm
blame
C#           G#  A#m  Fm
no one is to blame
     C#            G#       A#m
as natural as the rain that falls
      Fm        C#      C7
here comes the Flood again



See the rock that you hold onto
is it gonna save you
when the earth begins to crumble?
why'd you feel you have to hold on?
imagine if you let go


blame
no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again


Am/C   F7       G#          Gm7       C
flush away the weight that pulls you down
Am/C      F7       G#      Gm7     C
Light the ways that freed from the dust

[flush away the weight that pulls you down]
don't trust your eyes
its easy to believe them
know in your heart
that you can leave a prison

[Light the ways that free from the dusk]
don't trust your mind
its not always listening
turn on the lights
and feel the ancient rhythm

don't trust your eyes
its easy to believe them [no one is to blame]
know in your heart [as natural as the rain]
that you can leave your prison [here comes the Flood again]

blame
no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again
