[Verse 1]
C5
You live in a world I cannot believe
C5
You create a world I don't want to see
Ab C5 Cm
And your forest's a stand of dead trees lost in the night
C5
Did you ever think you'd live down the past?
C5
You just wanna tie yourself to the mast
Ab C5 Cm
All your nightmares have come t'you at last, at least in your mind
[Chorus 1]
D# A# Cm Ab
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
D# A# Cm
Breaking on the shore
D# A# Cm Ab
Make your peace with broken streets
D# A# C5 Cm
Your face turned towards the storm
C5 Cm
[Verse 2]
C5
Your hollow accusations no one ever hears
C5
Your wounded sense of pride, a guilty souvenir
Ab C5 Cm
All your protests and vacant excuses ring insincere
C5
I just want to find a car to overturn
C5
I just want to light a fire to watch it burn
D# C5 Cm
Now we're past the point of no return and no one is here
[Chorus 2]
D# A# Cm Ab
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
D# A# Cm
Breaking on the shore
D# A# Cm Ab
Make your peace with broken streets
D# A# C5 Cm
Your face turned towards the storm
C5 Cm
C5 Cm

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
Cm A# Ab
In between whispers and screams
Cm A# Ab
You permeate my soul
Cm A# Ab
Lost between nightmares and dreams
Cm A# Ab
You decimate this home
[Chorus 3]
D# A# Cm Ab
Learn to swim in rushing rivers

Breaking on the shore

Make your peace with broken streets

Your face turned towards the storm
