Pain Lies On The Riverside
--------------------------
]: Am Dm :[AmI have never taken Dmlife
Yet AmI have often paid the Dmprice
And Amyou, you are a victim of this Dmage
And the Amguilt that hangs around your neck
Has got meDm locked up in a cage
You've got to Flearn to Glive until no Amend
But first you must Flearn to Gswim all over Eagain
Because Ampain lies on the Dmriverside
And Ampain will never Dmsay goodbye
AmPain lies on the Dmriverside
So put your Ehead in the waterF G
Put your Esoul in the water F G
And join me for a swim toAmnight
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
EmBut I decided that anxiety and pain
(D) Em
Were better friends
So I let it Dgo
Did you let it Emgo' (G3xD)
Let's get it Aback
Let's get it Cback toDgether Em
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
--------------]: Bm F# :[BmIf I told you he was your F#brother
BmWe could reminisce then you would F#go about your day
BmIf I said you ought to F#give him some of your water
You'd Bmshake your canteen and walk aF#way
This Gperception that divides you from Dhim A
Is a Glie -- for some Dreason you Anever asked Gwhy
This is Dnot a black and Awhite Gworld
You can't Dafford to beAlieve in your Cside
This is Bmnot a black and white Emworld
To be Bmalive I say that the colors must F#swirl
And I Bmbelieve that maybe toEmday
We will Dall get to appreciAate the beauty of gray Bm F#
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...

Look into your eyes
No daylight

Brothers Unaware
----------------]: Dm C :[DmSo many Cpeople
DmI know only a Cfew
DmYes I may say that I love Cthis man and that man
DmBut what keeps me from Cloving you'
DmDate of birth, geograCphy
DmColor of skin, ideCology
DmYou got ten fingers, two Clegs, one nose
Like Dmme, just like Cme
And it's as Bbsimple as that you Asee
And if I Dmdon't know who to love I Clove them all
And if I Dmdon't know who to trust I Ctrust them all
And if I Dmdon't know who to kill I Ckill myself inAstead Bb C
>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

Intro (4x) Under 1st verse (4x)
You say "hold on to the reigns"
I say "let them go tonight"

Confused between what is and ain't
She cries "groundless and free"

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)
What about my C#mbank account'
And my Aholy Bdesert Eshield
That keeps me G#dry under the arAms
BFlags and mental jewelry's all I Eknow
And they keep me G#happy and warm inF#side
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
Said they G#could
Mama said they Awould
Do me G#good A
I know that I should...
Waterboy
--------
C#mWhat do you say to the Achild
Whose C#mgod is in the TV A
And C#mwhat do you say to the Aman
Who C#mblames the world on ATV
C#mThey don't even know Ahow to C#msing my Asong
But C#mthey won't even Atry it with C#mme A
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

He said, he said, he said
There was nothing to fear boy
He said, he said, he said
Worthless are your tears boy
Just realize your senses
And realize your earth
Just realize your essence first

FNo more bitterweet
No more Ggood pain

So Ammany of us stanCd in the mDiddle C
Looking Amback to the worstC
Looking Dforward to the fallC
Making Amweapons of peacCe for the dDefense C
Of the Ambloodstains on our Cpeaceful sideDwalks C
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
No more Fbitterweet
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
No more Amgood pain
No more Ggood pain
No more Dgood pain good pain
