| Blood in the water and | Hell to | pay, Sky tear open and | pain rain | down. |
| G | A7 | D | A7 | D | |
| Doesn't matter let come what may - | I ain't ever gonna leave | this | town | - |
| D | G | D | A7 | D | |
| This city won't | wash aw | ay, This city won't | ever dr | own. |

| Ain't the river or the | wind to | blame, As everybody a | round here | knows. |

| Nothing holding back | Pontchar | train, Except a prayer with a | promise's | ghost. |
| G | A7 | D | A7 | D | |
| This town's digging our graves - | In solid marble above | the | ground | - |
| D | G | D | A7 | D | |
| Maybe our bones will | wash a | way, This city won't | ever | drown. |
