E                           D
Give me something I can feel

E                       D
This time I wanna rain dance for real

         E               D
Wash the dust of dirty wheels

E                               D
 Give me the waters that could help me heal and

E        D      E     D
Hold the old me down

Hold the old me down

On the thirsty ground

Let the rains come down

I want to drink the clouds
Like holy water E D (x2) [Verse]
  E                               D
I felt like this when I was a boy

E                      D
  A firefly in Illinois

          E                       D
A pair of wings and an electric heart

E                     D
 Broken wings and a shot in the dark

          E    D       E   D
With that fire in our eyes
(Lighting up the summertime sky)
          E    D       E   
With that fire in our eyes
(I felt so alive) [Pre-chorus]
                        D      A
But now I'm praying for rain

                    E
I want to make that change

                       D       A
I got your blood in my veins
Like holy water [Chorus]
E         G           C
Sisters, sons, and daughters

                A
Hold me down with the holy water

E          G            C
Blisters, guns, and fathers

              A
Hold me down with the...
Hold me down with the...
E         G           C
Sisters, sons, and daughters

              A
Hold me down with the holy water

C              A                  E
 Hold me down with the holy water
Like holy water E D (x4) [Verse]
E                        D
My head is aching like a riot

E                     D     
 Forty days in the desert pain

       E                        D
When I hear the lies I don't buy it

E                       D
Still looking for the desert rain and I

E                         D
 Fight the fire with the fire

E                            D
 I want to taste your love again and I

E                     D
 Let the flood rise higher

E
 Wash the doubt away
[Pre-chorus]
                         D     A
But now I'm praying for rain

                     E
I want to make that change

                       D       A
I got your blood in my veins

                 E  D
Like holy water
(Like holy water)
