Yo La Tengo - The river of water

^DIn the time that ^Cremains the stars will ^Dfade Doesn't take what's ^Cwrong and make it ^Dright It doesn't ^Cchange what's come ^Dbefore ^C

^CA lot of people want to ^Dturn their heads ^CAnd wave a flag and claim a ^Bmmoral ^Emfight When there's ^Bmnothing ^Emright about it ^BmOne of the ^Clittle lies of ^Dtime

Just ^Dbecause you're ^Cafter all the ^Dmen Doesn't take what's ^Cwrong and make it ^Dright It doesn't ^Cchange what's come ^Dbefore ^C

^CA lot of people want to ^Dclear their head ^COr beat a drum and hold your ^Bmhead up ^Emhigh When there's ^Bmnothing ^Emright about it ^BmOne of the ^Clittle lies of ^Dtime

^DA freighter ^Canchors close to ^Dshore Puts a weighted ^Cline, the sun goes ^Ddown And all this ^Cdirt, it turns to ^Dblack ^C

^CA restless sleeper sticks his ^Dhead outside ^CAnd sees the light, and feels it ^Bmcome ^Eminside But he ^Bmdoesn't ^Emrecognize, It's ^Bmmy kind of ^Clittle lie and ^Bmmy tastes hold in the ^Emmiddle of the ^Bmnight My kind of ^Clittle lie and ^BmI know all the ^Empretending it's all ^Bmright My kind of ^Clittle lying ^Dtime
