F#m
Moves like a fist through traffic
Anger and no one can heal it
Shoves a little bump into the momentum
It's just a little lump
But you feel it in the...
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#m
In the creases and the shadows
F#m G#m A G#mF#m G#m A G#m
With a rattling deep emo-tion
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#m
The cool, cool riv-er
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#m
Sweeps the wild, white ocean
F#m11
Yes Boss. The government handshake
Yes Boss. The crusher of language
Yes Boss. Mr. Stillwater,
The face at the edge of the banquet
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#m
The cool, the cool riv-er
F#m G#m A G#mF#m G#m A G#m
The cool, the cool riv-er
F#m11 E9(11)/B F#m/A
I believe in the future
D/A A D/A A E9(11)/B
I may live in my car
F#m/A
My radio tuned to
D/A A D/A A E9(11)/B
The voice of a star
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
F#m/A D/A A D/A A
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
E9(11)/B
And these old hopes and fears
F#m/A D/A A D/A A F#m
Still at my side
F#m
Anger and no one can heal it
Slides through the metal detector
Lives like a mole in a motel
A slide in a slide projector
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#m
The cool, cool riv-er
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#m
Sweeps the wild, white ocean
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#m
The rage, the rage of love turns inward
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#m
To prayers of devotion
F#m
And these prayers are
The constant road across the wilderness
These prayers are
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#m
These prayers are the memory of God
F#m G#m A G#m F#m G#m A G#mF#m
The memory of God
E9(11)/B F#m/A
And I believe in the future
D/A A D/A A
We shall suffer no more
E9(11)/B F#m/A
Maybe not in my lifetime
D/A A D/A A E9(11)/B
But in yours I feel sure
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
F#m/A D/A A D/A A
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
E9(11)/B D
And these streets
A
Quiet as a sleeping army
E7/G# A D/A
Send their battered dreams to heaven, to heaven
E/B A
For the mother's restless son
D/A
Who is a witness to, who is a warrior
E/BA
Who denies his urge to break and run
Who says: Hard times?
I'm used to them
D/A
The speeding planet burns
I'm used to that
E/B A
My life's so common it disappears
D/A
And sometimes even music
E/B A
Cannot substitute for tears
Repeat and fade:
