Backwater

E-C

[E5]And when I wake up in th[F#5]e morning
[C5]To feel the daybreak on my f[E5]ace
[E5]There's a blood that's flowin' through the [F#5]feeling
With a k[C5]nife to open up the sky's [E5]vein

        [E]Some things...will never [C#m]change
        They jus[C]t stand there looking backwards
        Half unc[D]onscious from the pain
        [E]It may seem...re[C#m]arranged
        In the b[C]ackwater swirling there is [D]something that'll never change

And when I shoulda' been gone a long time
Laughs...and says I find ways
Just when we're sheltered under paper
The rockets come at us sideways

        [E]Some things...will never [C#m]change
        They jus[C]t stand there looking backwards
        Half unc[D]onscious from the pain
        [E]It may seem...re[C#m]arranged
        In the b[C]ackwater swirling there is [D]something that'll never change

        [F]  [G]      [C]Hey...I'[B]m blind
                [D]Good...fine
                [C]Roll the[B] time
                [D]On whose dime?

(over [E]-[C#m]-[C]-D)

And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowin' through the ceiling
With a knife to open up the sky's vein

        Some things...will never change
        They just stand there looking backwards
        Half unconscious from the pain
        It may seem...rearranged
        In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

        Some things...will never change
        They just stand there looking backwards
        Half unconscious from the pain
        It may seem...rearranged
        In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
