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...
