Water grey

Through the windows, up the stairs

Chilling rain

Like an ocean everywhere

[Chorus]

Don't want to reach for me do you

I mean nothing to you

The little things give you away

And now there will be no mistaking

The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under water

I

Do

[End chorus]

Hope decays

Generations disappear

Washed away

As a nation simply stares

[Chorus]

Don't want to reach for me do you

I mean nothing to you

The little things give you away

But there will be no mistaking

The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under water

I

Do

All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under ground now

I

Now I do

[End chorus]

[Brad's guitar solo]

Little things give you away

Little things give you away

Little things give you away

Little things give you away

Little things give you away

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)

All you've ever wanted

Was someone to truly look up to you

(Little things give you away)
