Radical Face – Rivers In The Dust (Guitar)

Am                           D
The sweat cuts rivers in the dust

        F
On your face

                             Am
While the wheels beneath complain

                                    D
The wind still whistles through the haze

    F
The sun shines like a razor blade

        G
And the bones of crops and banknotes pave the way

Am               G          F        G
The highways are lined with graves

Am             G        F         G
Like the fingernails of giants

Am                G         F      G
Like blood pulled through a vein

Am          G       F         G
We rush the west in silence

    Am           G       F      G
And I am not the one you wanted here

    Am     G       F      G
But I will fill my post

Am                G     F      G
Heaven's touch is often out of reach

   Am        G       F
To those who want it most

G                    F
You wear a rose from yesterday

         C                      G
Like the world is green and overgrown

                    F
And I wear a handkerchief around my mouth

   C                       G
To keep the dust and ashes out

                   F        C
I dream a glass of water

                         G
With you dreaming of the sea

                        F
And I watch my feet and you would watch the sky

    C                       G              Am
And we would wonder why our eyes no longer meet

       Am
It was hard to call the thing we saw a storm

             G
Like it had climbed from the pages of some novel

        F
And the sheets of dust hit everything like waves against the rocks

       E7
It was morning but I'd be damned if I could tell

    Am
And you would hold my hand and close your eyes

             D
And I didn't mind

                    F
When hell bears its teeth

                              Am
You learn your place and this god forsaken sun could be the moon

              D
For all it provides

                F
Eyes are on the road

E7
Before it disappears again
