Pain Lies On The Riverside -------------------------- ]: AmDm :[ AmDm I have never taken life AmDm Yet I have often paid the price AmDm And you, you are a victim of this age Am And the guilt that hangs around your neck Dm Has got me locked up in a cage FGAm You've got to learn to live until no end FGE But first you must learn to swim all over again
AmDm Because pain lies on the riverside AmDm And pain will never say goodbye AmDm Pain lies on the riverside EFG So put your head in the water EFG Put your soul in the water Am And join me for a swim tonight
I have forever always tried To stay clean and constantly baptized I am aware now that the river's banks are dry And to wait for a flood Is to wait for life
I've got to learn...
Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition) -------------------------------------------
Em (D) Heard a lot of talk about the ocean Em (D) Heard a lot of talk about the sea Em (D) Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things Em (D) Never meant that much to me Em (D) Heard a lot of talk about my spirit Em (D) Heard a lot of talk about my soul Em But I decided that anxiety and pain (D) Em Were better friends D So I let it go EmGD Did you let it go? (3x) A Let's get it back CDEm Let's get it back together
Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus A man of love, a man of strength But what a man was two thousand years ago Means nothing at all to me today He could have been telling me about my higher self But he only lives inside my prayer So what he was may have been beautiful But the pain is right now and right here
Let it go...
Beauty Of Gray -------------- ]: BmF# :[ BmF# If I told you he was your brother BmF# We could reminisce then you would go about your day BmF# If I said you ought to give him some of your water BmF# You'd shake your canteen and walk away GDA This perception that divides you from him GDAG Is a lie -- for some reason you never asked why DAG This is not a black and white world DAC You can't afford to believe in your side BmEm This is not a black and white world BmF# To be alive I say that the colors must swirl BmEm And I believe that maybe today DABmF# We will all get to appreciate the beauty of gray
If I told you that she was your mother We could analyze the situation and be gone If I said you ought to give her some of your water Your eyes would light up like the dawn
This perception that divides you from her...
We will all get to appreciate...
BmEm The beauty of gray DA The beauty of gray

Brothers Unaware ---------------- ]: DmC :[
DmC So many people DmC I know only a few DmC Yes I may say that I love this man and that man DmC But what keeps me from loving you? DmC Date of birth, geography DmC Color of skin, ideology DmC You got ten fingers, two legs, one nose DmC Like me, just like me BbA And it's as simple as that you see DmC And if I don't know who to love I love them all DmC And if I don't know who to trust I trust them all DmCABbC And if I don't know who to kill I kill myself instead
>From the mouth of a baby Will come the world saving words That will save us all And from the lungs of a child Will come the everlasting breath of God
Increasing peace and honesty And not carrying on despite of me Don't you know, this ain't about no race, no creed No race, no creed
And it's as simple as that you see
And if I don't know who to love I love them all And if I don't know who to trust I trust them all And if I don't know who to kill no suicide I'm already dead

You say "hold on to the reigns" I say "let them go tonight" My brain waves Confused between what is and ain't She cries "groundless and free"
BbmEbm Tired of the water BbmEbm Tired of the wine BbmEbm Tired of the future BbmEbm Tired of time BbmEbm Tired of the madness BbmEbm Tired of the steel BbmEbm Tired of the violence BbmEbm Tired of me
BmEm Used steel BmEm Used steel am I BmEm What was pliable in love BmEm Is now hard and crystalized BmEm The intellect is fine BmEm For counting money and recording times BmEmBmF# That she cried "groundless and free"
BmF# I'm so tired of time F#Bm I'm so tired of the wine (2x)

Mirror Song ----------- EA/E e|-0----0--| B|-0----0--| G|-13---6--| D|-14---7--| A|-14---7--| E|-0----0--| (repeat throughout verses)
I know that I should think about giving And think about helping out and think about Think about living But I can't seem to rescue myself (2x)
C#m What about my bank account? ABE And my holy desert shield G#A That keeps me dry under the arms BE Flags and mental jewelry's all I know G#F# And they keep me happy and warm inside
So I said unto this man who are you And where do you come from And he proceeded to tell me many things But I said nothing at all For the flower in the corner by the room In the window and the sun Said it all
But what about...
A (arpeggiate chords here) At least they said they would G# Said they could A Mama said they would G#A Do me good
I know that I should...
Waterboy -------- C#mA What do you say to the child C#mA Whose god is in the TV C#mA And what do you say to the man C#mA Who blames the world on TV C#mAC#mA They don't even know how to sing my song C#mAC#mA But they won't even try it with me
Who is standing over playing like the teacher
Harnessing the learned
Who try but can't leave her
I want to beg the liars to lay down
Their sirens
That play like the angels
To my deep desire
Free my son
Let him walk right through the rain
Free my son
Make him waterboy
Free my son
There he stands down on the shore
Free my son
What do you say to the man Who treats her like a mother And what do you say to the man Who treats him like a father
Come and see my heart Come inside and learn Come and see my soul, it's like yours I say it's just like yours
Who is making over Idolizing princes Banishing the dreamers With barbed wire fences And telling all the children who run to her feet That they have no vision and love's all diseased
Free my son

AmCAmCAmCDm Take, take, take my anthem today Am Take it away
Hands on me Hands overseas There ain't no difference between Heart in me Heart overseas There ain't no difference between

Just realize your senses And realize your earth Just realize your essence first
AmGAm I'll never be the same again AmGAm I want to walk in the sun AmGAm I am alive and well again F No more bitterweet G No more good pain
No more AmCDC So many of us stand in the middle AmC Looking back to the worst DC Looking forward to the fall AmCDC Making weapons of peace for the defense AmCDC Of the bloodstains on our peaceful sidewalks
You say the buildings are too tall They're going to fry your brother Well I say you'd better walk away And find your mother
F No more bitterweet No more good pain
If I can't sing this song And tell you all about it Then I'll just pack it up right now and walk away Don't even doubt it
So when our sherry glass is full And the day is way too young You'd better sip today before it's gone
No more bitterweet No more good pain
Am No more good pain G No more good pain D No more good pain good pain

Talk to me now...
Could you leave it behind... DAE Leave it all behind...
