Chords

[Intro] E [Verse 1]
E
There's power in the name
But the name's been lost for centuries There's poison in the water But the water tastes like honey
             A                              C#m
And we're so thirsty we don't care where we wake up tomorrow

            A                   B               E
We don't care, the question can hardly hold our attention

E                           A                 B                    E
And this is a song for your young men to sing when they run out of options

A               B         E
Yeah, when they run out of options
[Verse 2]
E
There's the faith you can give or withhold
And then there's the one true faith There's the revolution you came for And the one you're eventually going to get
               A                                    C#m
And there's a road that starts right here and leads clear up to Saskatchewan

       A              B           E
And I brought a full tank and a '67 Mustang

E                          A               B
And this is a song for your young women to whistle

              E          A           B        E
While they're driving at high speeds down the highway
[Verse 3]
E
There's wind up in the trees
There's a song on the wind There's a message in the song But the message is hopelessly complicated
        A
And the words are written on water

          C#m
And they disappear before you write them down

    A    B           E
But I, I brought the Polaroid

E
And this the song

    C#m
And everybody's got sing along

                         A
But it hasn't got a chorus

     B       E
God damn it all
[Outro]
E                   A         B         E
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

E                   A         B         E
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

E                   A         B         E
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

E                   A         B         E
