[Verse 1]
D5
You live in a world I cannot believe
D5
You create a world I don't want to see
A# D5 Dm
And your forest's a stand of dead trees lost in the night
D5
Did you ever think you'd live down the past?
D5
You just wanna tie yourself to the mast
A# D5 Dm
All your nightmares have come t'you at last, at least in your mind
[Chorus 1]
F C Dm A#
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
F C Dm
Breaking on the shore
F C Dm A#
Make your peace with broken streets
F C D5 Dm
Your face turned towards the storm
D5 Dm
[Verse 2]
D5
Your hollow accusations no one ever hears
D5
Your wounded sense of pride, a guilty souvenir
A# D5 Dm
All your protests and vacant excuses ring insincere
D5
I just want to find a car to overturn
D5
I just want to light a fire to watch it burn
F D5 Dm
Now we're past the point of no return and no one is here
[Chorus 2]
F C Dm A#
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
F C Dm
Breaking on the shore
F C Dm A#
Make your peace with broken streets
F C D5 Dm
Your face turned towards the storm
D5 Dm

You are afraid
Uneducated on where this would lead
Going on for far too long
We are sorry for the greed
Leave us in pieces and places
War torn and wronged
Dm C A#
In between whispers and screams
Dm C A#
You permeate my soul
Dm C A#
Lost between nightmares and dreams
Dm C A#
You decimate this home
[Chorus 3]
F C Dm A#
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
F C Dm
Breaking on the shore
F C Dm A#
Make your peace with broken streets

Your face turned towards the storm
