As recorded by the Indigo Girls (From the 1990 Album NOMADS INDIANS SAINTS) [Intro] D G D [Verse 1]
D
You and me of the ten thousand wars

                                            G
Dividing life into factions of pleasure and chores

                           D
A bed to be made and a bed to lie in

  G                    A                      D
A hand in the darker side and our sights set on Zion
[Verse 2]
D
The heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child

                                   G
Put my life in a box and let my imagination run wild

                    D
Pour the cement for my feet

    G                       A
The heart and the mind on a parallel course

D
Never the two shall meet
[Chorus]
    G                               D
And oh, the dissatisfied with the satisfied

     G 
Everybody loves a melodrama

        D             Asus4 A
And the scandal of a lie

G                             A                D
Still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter

         G                         A
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes

      D
Still waters
[Verse 3]
D
Try making one and one make one

                                          G
Twist the shapes until everything comes undone

                   D
Watch the wizard behind the curtain

    G                        A                D
The larger than life and the power of seeming certain
[Verse 4]
D
The evil ego and the vice of pride

D
Is there ever anything else

                   G
That makes us take our different sides?

                        D
I wanted everything to feed me

         G                          A
About as full as I got was of myself

        D
And the upper echalons of mediocrity
[Chorus]
    G                               D
And oh, the dissatisfied with the satisfied

     G 
Everybody loves a melodrama

        D             Asus4 A
And the scandal of a lie

G                             A                D
Still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter

         G                         A
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes

      D
Still waters

D
Still waters
[Verse 5]
D
After the battle and we're still around

D                                          
Everything once up in the air has settled down

G                          D
Sweep the ashes, let the silence find us

    G                      A           D
A moment of peace is worth every war behind us
[Outro]
D
You and me of the ten thousand wars
