Intro

F#m E G#m x2

Verse
F#m E
The tide is high, sandbag your street!
G#m
Converging, swelling channels meet
F#m E
The torrent roars, banks are breached
G#m
Stay calm, be cool, a part at least

Chorus
B G#m
The brakes are on, controlled retreat
A
Quick-go-slowly, heart valve weak
B G#m
Fairness flounders, sincere cheats
A
Disgraced champions, taste defeat

Verse
F#m E
Beware the timely statement leak...
G#m
The trigger is the price of meat
F#m E
Barricade your first floor doors
G#m
Evacuate your sick and poor

Chorus
B G#m
Be larger picture, stronger, deep
A
Be good, be bad, be more, elite...
B G#m
A prince of bread, a pint of peace
A
In Middle Earth, in Middle East


Bridge
F#m E G#m x2

Chorus
B G#m
Go east, go north, go south, go west
A
Leave mouths open, with your best
B G#m
Adapt to change, stay unimpressed
A
Adopt: 'Chekov', to family crest

Then hold on the A until the end
