Am
How do you live when you know that you're broke
How can you see when the sky is full of smoke?
F
Every time you take a breath
G
The air just makes you choke
Up on this hill, I can see where you been
It's all moving on, but you're still trying to win
Your lips move so fast
Nearly outstrip the wind
Chorus:
C D F C D
Can't you see that I'm never coming home
F C
You've worried my mind till I don't know why
D F
I listen for the truth
C D
Sometimes the words are kind
F G Am
But most times, they switch sides
Take what you want, we'll pretend that it's free
Tell every soul what you need to believe
Do you still think you're broke
When you're laughing at me?
Chorus
Bridge:
C G F C
There ain't no running, but we know where we should go (and there ain't no standing still)
C G F C
On our hands and knees, where our hearts are still (while we drink our fill)
C G F C
At the riverside, where the water's cool and slow
C G F
We raise our eyes, as we drink our fill (and we find our will, or while our hearts are still)
Solo [:C G F C:] repeat to Am
Where will you go when you've seen all the rest?
Will you head out alone, will you clean up your mess?
Will you sink to the bottom?
Will you swim with the best?
Chorus 2:
C D F C D
Can't you see that I'm never coming home?
F C
Found peace of mind, one river wide
D F
I listen for the truth
C D
It comes from every side
Fade into extended solo over F G D E
But this time... this time... (repeat)
