F#m |
Moves like a fist through traffic |
Anger and no one can heal it
Shoves a little bump into the momentum
|
It's just a little lump
|
But you feel it in the...
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m| In the creases and the shadows F#m G#m A G#m|F#m G#m A G#m| With a rattling deep emo-tion F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m| The cool, cool riv-er F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m| Sweeps the wild, white ocean F#m11 | Yes Boss. The government handshake
|
Yes Boss. The crusher of language
Yes Boss. Mr. Stillwater,
| |
The face at the edge of the banquet
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m| The cool, the cool riv-er F#m G#m A G#m|F#m G#m A G#m| The cool, the cool riv-er
F#m11 | |Eadd9add11/B |F#m/A
I believe in the future
D/A |A D/A A |Eadd9add11/B I may live in my car | |F#m/A My radio tuned to D/A |A D/A A |Eadd9add11/B | The voice of a star
|
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
F#m/A D/A |A D/A A | Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
Eadd9add11/B | |
And these old hopes and fears
F#m/A D/A |A D/A A | |F#m | | Still at my side F#m | Anger and no one can heal it
|
Slides through the metal detector
Lives like a mole in a motel
| |
A slide in a slide projector
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m| The cool, cool riv-er F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m| Sweeps the wild, white ocean F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m| The rage, the rage of love turns inward F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m| To prayers of devotion F#m And these prayers are
| |
The constant road across the wilderness
|
These prayers are
|F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m| These prayers are the memory of God F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|F#m | The memory of God
|Eadd9add11/B |F#m/A
And I believe in the future
D/A |A D/A A | We shall suffer no more
Eadd9add11/B | |F#m/A
Maybe not in my lifetime
D/A |A D/A A |Eadd9add11/B | But in yours I feel sure
|
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
F#m/A D/A |A D/A A | Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
Eadd9add11/B |D
And these streets
|A Quiet as a sleeping army |E7/G# |A |D/A | Send their battered dreams to heaven, to heaven E/B |A For the mother's restless son | |D/A | Who is a witness to, who is a warrior E/B|A Who denies his urge to break and run
|
Who says: Hard times?
|
I'm used to them
D/A
The speeding planet burns |
I'm used to that
E/B |A My life's so common it disappears | |D/A | And sometimes even music E/B |A | Cannot substitute for tears
Repeat and fade:
F#m11 |
