[Verse 1]
A5
You live in a world I cannot believe
A5
You create a world I don't want to see
F A5 Am
And your forest's a stand of dead trees lost in the night
A5
Did you ever think you'd live down the past?
A5
You just wanna tie yourself to the mast
F A5 Am
All your nightmares have come t'you at last, at least in your mind
[Chorus 1]
C G Am F
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
C G Am
Breaking on the shore
C G Am F
Make your peace with broken streets
C G A5 Am
Your face turned towards the storm
A5 Am
[Verse 2]
A5
Your hollow accusations no one ever hears
A5
Your wounded sense of pride, a guilty souvenir
F A5 Am
All your protests and vacant excuses ring insincere
A5
I just want to find a car to overturn
A5
I just want to light a fire to watch it burn
C A5 Am
Now we're past the point of no return and no one is here
[Chorus 2]
C G Am F
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
C G Am
Breaking on the shore
C G Am F
Make your peace with broken streets
C G A5 Am
Your face turned towards the storm
A5 Am
A5 Am
A5 Am

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
Am G F
In between whispers and screams
Am G F
You permeate my soul
Am G F
Lost between nightmares and dreams
Am G F
You decimate this home
[Chorus 3]
C G Am F
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
C G Am
Breaking on the shore
C G Am F
Make your peace with broken streets
C G A5 Am
Your face turned towards the storm
A5 Am
A5 Am
