Seawall by Kakso Lunsford
Seawall
Key: Bb
[Verse 1]
Bb Eb Gm
If the end is near then I can't say I'm surprised
Eb Gm C F
I've been waiting half my life for the big one
Bb Eb Gm
Maybe coming soon maybe sooner than we think
Eb Gm C F
Maybe we're all on the brink of kingdom come
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
As the salt water's pouring through the seawall
Bb F
Every person behind it will drown
Gm Eb
If I'm only brave once in my lifetime
Bb F
It will be when the world's burning down
[Verse 2]
Bb Eb Gm
And I'll leave my house and I'll step into the street
Eb Gm C F
Where the water soaks my feet and houses flood
Bb Eb Gm
But I will not fall though the current pulls me down
Eb Gm C F
And I cannot see the ground through swirling mud
Bb Eb Gm
And the cowards flock seeking safety in their mobs
Eb Gm C F
Pray salvation from a god who wants them dead
Bb Eb Gm
And I'm laugh a bit as we're taken by the sea
Eb Gm C F
Cause I'll know that finally there's light ahead
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
And I'll breathe in the cool salty sea breeze
Bb F
As I float in a skiff through my town
Gm Eb
If I'm only brave once in my lifetime
Bb F
It will be when the world's burning down
[Verse 3]
Bb Eb Gm
And the hot winds blow as the sun beats down on me
Eb Gm C F
It's at least a hundred three and gettin' dry
Bb Eb Gm
And the gardens die as the days keep getting hotter
Eb Gm C F
And we all run out of water overnight
Bb Eb Gm
And the people cry as the crops starting turning black
Eb Gm C F
And the flowers don't grow back and fires blaze
Bb Eb Gm
And the leaves all change in the middle of July
Eb Gm C F
And the sun up in the sky won't go away
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
But I'll walk like a man past the wildfires
Bb F
With my feet firmly pressed to the ground
Gm Eb
If I'm only brave once in my lifetime
Bb F
It will be when the world's burning down
[Bridge]
Eb F
And the cops will train their rifles at the people throwing rocks
Bb Gm
As the razor wire rises in between the city blocks
Eb F
And the rockets fly through neighborhoods and smoke consumes the day
Gm F
I'll keep walking like I always do I will not look away
[Chorus]
Gm Eb
I will march with conviction through the panic
Bb F
Even as people near me fall down
Gm Eb
I will live as I have without terror
Bb F
Even when there is death all around
Gm Eb
I will stand eye to eye with the end times
Bb F
And I'll take what they've got pound for pound
Gm Eb
If I'm only brave once in my lifetime
Bb F
It will be when the world's burning down
[Outro]
Bb Eb Gm Eb Gm C F x3
