[Intro]
Em C Am  (x2)

[Verse]
Em
the blackest storm i ever saw

       C          Am
was coming in from omaha

Em
and the latest news from tokyo was

C            Am
a lot of ugly numbers

Em
i was checkin' pay phones for forgotten coins

            C           Am
as the clouds came over west des moines

Em
got into the house got the curtains drawn

C                            Am
got into the the shower with all my clothes on

[Chorus]

Em                               G  D
hey! hey! let the water come down!

Em                               G   D
hey! hey! let the water come down!

Em C Am  (x2)

[Verse]

Em
by noon it was clear that winter'd come

C                  Am
and i just let the water run

Em
and i got soap suds in my eyes

C                 Am
and it stung like iodine

Em
the phone started ringing like a fire alarm

C                                Am
and the voice on the machine was brutally calm

Em
new numbers coming down the wire

C                           Am
got into the shower with my eyes on fire

[Chorus]

Em
hey! hey! let it fall on me,

G                    D
let it all come down relentlessly!

Em
you swore that you would stick around

G                           D
when days like this started coming down!

Em                    G   D
break out the crystal!

Em                          G    D
get out the good champagne!

Em              G    D
we're going down

Em             G     D
in flames.
