Intro:
[D5] [Dm]
Verse 1:
[D5] You live in a world I cannot believe
[D5] You create a world I don't want to see
And your [Bb]forest's a stand
of dead trees lost in the [D5]night [Dm]
[D5] Did you ever think you'd live down the past?
[D5] You just wanna tie yourself to the mast
All your [Bb]nightmares have come t'you
at last, at least in your [D5]mind [Dm]
Chorus 1:
[F]Learn to [C]swim in [Dm]rushing [Bb]rivers
[F]Breaking [C]on the [Dm]shore
[F]Make your [C]peace with [Dm]broken [Bb]streets
Your [F]face turned [C]towards the [D5]storm [Dm]
[D5] [Dm]
Verse 2:
[D5] Your hollow accusations no one ever hears
[D5] Your wounded sense of pride, a guilty souvenir
All your [Bb]protests and vacant excuses ring insin[D5]insincere [Dm]
[D5] I just want to find a car to overturn
[D5] I just want to light a fire to watch it burn
Now we're [F]past the point of no
return and no one is [D5]here [Dm]
Chorus 2:
[F]Learn to [C]swim in [Dm]rushing [Bb]rivers
[F]Breaking [C]on the [Dm]shore
[F]Make your [C]peace with [Dm]broken [Bb]streets
Your [F]face turned [C]towards the [D5]storm [Dm]
Interlude:
[D5] [Dm]
You are afraid
Uneducated on where this would lead
Going on for far too long
We are sorry for the greed
Leave us in pieces and places
War torn and wronged
[Dm]In be[C]between whis[Bb]whispers and screams
You [Dm]perme[C]permeate my [Bb]soul
[Dm]Lost be[C]between night[Bb]nightmares and dreams
You [Dm]deci[C]decimate this [Bb]home
Chorus 3:
[F]Learn to [C]swim in [Dm]rushing [Bb]rivers
[F]Breaking [C]on the [Dm]shore
[F]Make your [C]peace with [Dm]broken [Bb]streets
Your [F]face turned [C]towards the [D5]storm [Dm]
