[Verse 1]
Em D G C
How many times have I had this dream
Em D G C
That wakes me from my slumber?
Em D G C
How will I ever get to sleep again
Em D G C
Counting sheep in a Book of Numbers?
Em D G C
How many times have I had this dream
Em D G C
With you walking towards me from the river?
Em D G C
And when will I ever get to rest again
Em D G C
Wondering if I can deliver?
[Chorus]
Am D
This is the sound of rushing water
Am D
Flooding through my brain
Am D
This is the sound of God's own daughter
Am D
Calling out your name
[Verse 2]
Em D G C
This is the sound of atmospheres
Em D G C
Three metric tonnes of pressure
Em D G C
This is the sum of all my fears
Em D G C
Something I just can't measure
Em D G C
I remеmber the story of Jonah
Em D G C
He was trappеd in the belly of a whale
Em D G C
How many times must he succeed?
Em D G C
How many times must he fail?
[Chorus]
Am D
This is the sound of rushing water
Am D
Flooding through my brain
Am D
This is the sound of God's own daughter
Am D
Calling out your name
[Verse 3]
G C D Em
I'll see my shrink on an analyst's couch
G C D Em
Hit me with a hammer and I'll say, "Ouch"
G C D Em
What we have here is so easy to solve
G C D Em
Just takes a firm purpose and some resolve
[Chorus]
Am D
This is the sound of rushing water (Rushing water)
Am D
Flooding through my brain (Flooding through my brain)
Am D
This is the sound of God's own daughter (God's own daughter)
Am D
Calling out your name
Am D
This is the sound of rushing water (Rushing water)
Am D
Flooding through my brain (Flooding through my brain)
Am D
This is the sound of God's own daughter (God's own daughter)

Your name, your name

Your name, your name

Your name, your name, your name, your

Flooding through your brain

[Verse 1]
G D C D
Jumped out of bed this morning
G D C
With a smile upon my face
G D C D
It's still there while I shave my chin
G D C
But the reasons hard for me to trace
G D C D
I cook myself some breakfast
G D C
Have some coffee while I muse
G D C D
Where could this smile have come from?
G D C
It's a muscle that I rarely use
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G C G
Call the doctor with my symptoms
Em G C
Should I spend all day in bed?
Em G C G
Can you explain what's ailing me?
Am D
And this is what my doctor said
[Chorus]
G
If it's love, it has no season
Em
If it's love, there is no cure
Am
If it's love, it won't see reason
D
And of this you can be sure
G
If it's love, you must surrender (You must surrender)
Em
If it's love that's turned you 'round (That's turned you 'round)
Am
If it's love, the odds are slender (The odds are)
D
If it's love, you're sunk without a trace
D
One case can bring you down
[Instrumental]
C D C D
C D C D
[Verse 2]
G D G D
You smile and your heart skips a beat
G D C
You hear a church bell chiming
G D G D
A sound that's ringing in your ears
G D C
Will set your heartbeat climbing
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G C G
And my doctor's diagnosis?
Em G C Em G C G
His opinion and a quote, "I'll write you a prescription"
Am D
And this is what my doctor wrote
[Chorus]
G
If it's love, it has no season
Em
If it's love, there is no cure
Am
If it's love, it won't see reason
D
And of this you can be sure
G
If it's love, you must surrender (You must surrender)
Em
If it's love, then you must yield (Then you must yield)
Am
If it's love, the odds are slender (The odds are)
D
If it's love, the trap's already laid
D
And I'm afraid your fate is all but sealed

[Intro]
Am G C
Am G C
Am G C
Am G C
[Verse 1]
Am G C
Bring me a glass of water
Am G C
To wash the dirt from my throat
Am G C
I've been wandering my whole life out there
Am G C
Help me out of my coat
Am G C
This water's as clear as crystal
Am G C
We should thank the Lord for that
Am G C
Sit you down and hear my story
Am G F
Find somewhere for my hat
Am G C
A barkeep takes a stranger's hat
Am G C
And finds a vacant hook
Am G C
Turns back towards the traveller
F
His right hand on an old black book
[Chorus]
Am G Dm
The holy Book of Numbers
Dm G Am
I take it's something that you've read?
Am G Dm
The long search in the wilderness
Dm G F
For a place to lay my head
[Verse 2]
Am G C
So many parables in the scriptures
Am G C
But this one I'm doomed to tell
Am G C
For I stormed the gates of Heaven
Am G C
To find myself in Hell
Am G C
This is my lonely mission
Am G C
To wake the world up to its fate
Am G C
To dismantle my own invention
Am G F Dm
For the hour is getting late
[Chorus]
Am G Dm
This holy Book of Numbers
Dm G Am
As we walk through the shadow of death
Am G Dm
Tell me, are you listening, boy
Dm G Am
Or am I just wasting my breath?
Am G C
There are fools in the courts of power
Dm G Am
While I've walked through this vale of bitter tears
Am G C
At the mercy of recording angels
Dm G F
For three score and twenty-five years
[Outro]
Am G C
The barkeep gets up from the table
Am G C
To fill up another glass
Am G C
He turns around to find an empty chair
Am G C
All that's left is the name in his hat

[Intro]
| Am | G Am | 4x
[Verse 1]
Am G
You say that I don't listen
Am G
That I don't give you no respect
Am G
You took your love to some other place
Am G
Now, what did you expect?
Am G
We made vows inside the church
Am G
To forgive each other's sins
Am G
But there are things I have to endure
Am G
Like the smell of another man's skin
[Chorus]
Am G Am
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
G Am
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
G Am
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
G Am
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
[Verse 2]
Am G
You say you wanted children
Am G
And you would grow into a mother
Am G
But in my mind's eye, I would see you
Am G
In the arms of another
Am G
I am given to jealousy
Am G
I've been given to violence
Am G
But I could never raise a hand in my defence
Am G
So I suffer here in silence
[Chorus]
Am G Am
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
G Am
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
G Am
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
G Am
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
[Instrumental]
| Am | G Am | 2x
[Verse 3]
Am G Am
I pray the waters of forgiveness
G Am
Will rain down on you and me
G Am
Just like newborn babies
G Am G
In the cradle of a tree
Am G
And we will walk in righteousness
Am G
We will walk in rain and thunder
Am G
And what God has joined together here
Am G
Let no man put asunder
[Chorus]
Am G Am
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
G Am
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
G Am
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
G Am
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
G Am
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
G Am
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
G Am
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
G Am
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is

[Verse 1]
g Em
The street where we live
Bm F#m
Is commonly known as being the wrong side of town

They look down their noses at you

Like they're entitled to keep you down
G Em
Our street has its social issues
Bm F#m
And violent crime by the bucket load

They laughed when they named it Harmony Road

They say where you're born

Will have an effect on how you turn out in life
G Em
So how can you make a living
Bm A
When all you have is a pocket knife?
G Em
You don't have the choice to run
Bm F#m
From anothеr violent episode
G A G
Wеlcome to life here on Harmony Road
[Chorus]
G Em Bm F#m
One day, we'll make a break
G Em Bm A
Get out of here, make no mistake
G Em
We'll steal a car
Bm F#m
Find a happy song on the radio
G A G
And never come back to Harmony Road
[Verse 3]
G Em
You walk down the hill
Bm F#m
And past the old factory shuttered for twenty years
G Em
There used to be work
Bm A
But you wonder how you'll ever get out of here
G Em
If I had a song in me
Bm F#m
I would pay off all of the debts I owed
G A G
I'm all out of tune on Harmony Road
[Verse 4]
G Em
I'll find us some money
Bm F#m
And I will take you with me, I promise you
G Em
I'll buy you some fancy clothes
Bm A
And we'll do all the things we wanted to
G Em
And no one will know

That we're any different, we're just à la mode

The king and the queen of Harmony Road

One day, we'll make a break from here
G# Fm Cm Bb
We'll make it big and have no fear
G# Fm
Won't carry the social stigma
Cm Gm
Of being judged by our postal code
G# Bb G#
And we will be done with Harmony Road
[Outro]
G# Fm
But then in our dreams
Cm Gm
Are we to be haunted by what we left behind?
G# Fm
That road has a way of
Cm Bb
Pulling you back if ever you give it mind
G# Fm
No matter the riches
Cm Gm
And all the palaces where we may have strode
G# Bb G#
We'll always belong to Harmony Road
G# Bb G#
We'll always belong to Harmony Road
