Jars of Clay – Mirrors And Smoke (Guitar)

C
I'm feeling older than my years

            G              C
I'm feeling pain inside my chest

C
It's love that keeps me silent

        G                C
It's my silence that you detest

F
Rivers flow into the oceans

                 F
And oceans never fill

C                               G            C
I want to kiss your lips, but I know I never will

F                                        C
Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke

C                     
But love will keep you wishing

       G                  C
And my heart will keep me broke

C                                 G            C
I blew flowers, gave you candy to even out the guilt

                                             G             C
I sent you greeting cards with messages that I could never write

       F 
Rivers flow into the oceans

                 C
And oceans never fill

C
I want to let you know me

      G            C
But I know I never will

F                                        C
Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke

C                     
But love will keep you wishing

       G                  C
And my heart will keep me broke

C
You will always want me

         G              C
And I'll always want to leave

     C       
Even though I cut your wounds

    G                  C
You still deny they're real

       F
Rivers flow into the ocean

             C
Oceans never fill

C        
I want to lay my life down

      G              C
But I know you never will

F                                        C
Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke

C                     
But love will keep you wishing

       G                  C
And my heart will keep me broke

C                             G                  C
Baby, don't you cry, 'cause I got it all figured out

C      
You always make me sad

                G                C
But that's what true love is all about

       F 
Rivers never fill the oceans

                  C
But oceans always feel

C                  
The waters reaching deep inside them

G                   C
I guess they always will

F                                              C
Love's a constant mission to a world you never spoke

C
Love, it keeps you wishing

   G                  C
My heart, it keeps me broke...
