Am           C      Dm           F
Pissing in a river, watching it rise 

Am       C      Dm           F
Tattoo fingers shy away from me 

Am      C     Dm     F  
Voices voices mesmerize

Am       C     Dm       F 
Voices voices beckoning sea 

Am   C    Dm   F         Am   
Come come come come back come back

C         Dm         F 
Come back come back come back 

Am          C     Dm        F
Spoke of a wheel, tip of a spoon 

Am         C      Dm         F
Mouth of a cave, I'm a slave I'm free. 

Am           C       Dm       F
When are you coming? Hope you come soon 

Am        C       Dm         F
Fingers, fingers encircling thee 

Am   C    Dm   F    Am    C
Come come come come come come 

Dm    F    Am   C    Dm  F    Am C  Dm F
Come come come come come come for me oh 

Am             C      Dm             F
My bowels are empty, excreting your soul 

Am               C         Dm            F
What more can I give you ? Baby I don't know 

Am               C           Dm              F
What more can I give you to make this thing grow?

Am               C         Dm             F 
Don't turn your back now, I'm talking to you 
Strummed Agressively
Am                C
Should I pursue a path so twisted ? 

Dm              F
Should I crawl defeated and gifted ? 

Am               C
Should I go the length of a river 

Dm                       F
[The royal, the throne, the cry me a river] 

Am                    C
Everything I've done, I've done for you 

Dm            F
Oh I give my life for you. 

Am                  C
Every move I made I move to you, 

Dm                F
And I came like a magnet for you now. 

Am              C
What about it, you're gonna leave me, 

Dm             F
What about it, you don't need me, 

Am               C
What about it, I can't live without you, 

Dm               F
What about it, I never doubted you 

Am               C
What about it ? What about it ? 

Dm               F
What about it ? What about it ? 

Am                 C
Should I pursue a path so twisted ? 

Dm              F
Should I crawl defeated and gifted ? 

Am               C
Should I go the length of a river, 

Dm                           F
[The royal, the throne, the cry me a river]

Am              C             Dm 
What about it, what about it, what about it ? 

F                    Am
Oh, I'm pissing in a river.
