Inauguration Day (CHORDS) by Phil Taylor

[Verse 1]~
Am             F                     Am              Dm
A lightning bolt shatters the door and I am caught off guard

C             Em         Am
Pinned to the wall as my eyes swim in stars

   F            G          Am
You reach in and swallow my heart


[Chorus]~
F       E
How far will it go

   Am    C            F
The ocean continues to rise;

   C    G        D      F
But I am swimming like a shark

      Am     E       Am
In the waters of your eyes


[Verse 2]~
Am      F        Am                   Dm
Take me dancing— dance with me on the moon;

C                Em           Am
Revolve with the worlds while below us unfurls

   F     G           Am
The earth howling its doom


[Verse 3]~
   Am                 F                     Am                       Dm
The flowers that bloom erupt in the gloom to garland our pathway with life

C       Em             Am
Pluck a corsage for an adorned homage

     F            G         Am
As we dance in the deepening night


[Chorus]~
F       E
How far will it go

   Am    C            F
The ocean continues to rise;

   C    G        D      F
But I am swimming like a shark

      Am     E       Am
In the waters of your eyes


[Verse 4]~
   Am                       F                  Am                      Dm
The song that we play's interrupted to say that today is the day of our dread

   C       Em          Am
The Capitol lawn is now o'ergrown with thorns

         F            G         Am
That have consumed the unwilling land!


[Verse 5]~
Am                 F                   Am                       Dm
Soft we lay on inauguration day as our hearts become brittle as stone

       C    Em     Am
And yet even if the world implodes

  F       G        Am
My hand is yours to hold!

   C    Em     Am                F       G        Am
Yes even if the world implodes my hand is yours to hold!


[Chorus]~
F       E
How far will it go

   Am    C            F
The ocean continues to rise;

   C    G        D      F
But I am swimming like a shark

      Am     E       Am
In the waters of your eyes


[Outro]~
   C      G        D      F
Yes I keep swimming like a shark;

      Am          E            Am
I'm at home in the blue of your eyes!
