[Verse 1]
G5
You live in a world I cannot believe
G5
You create a world I don't want to see
Eb G5 Gm
And your forest's a stand of dead trees lost in the night
G5
Did you ever think you'd live down the past?
G5
You just wanna tie yourself to the mast
Eb G5 Gm
All your nightmares have come t'you at last, at least in your mind
[Chorus 1]
A# F Gm Eb
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
A# F Gm
Breaking on the shore
A# F Gm Eb
Make your peace with broken streets
A# F G5 Gm
Your face turned towards the storm
G5 Gm
[Verse 2]
G5
Your hollow accusations no one ever hears
G5
Your wounded sense of pride, a guilty souvenir
Eb G5 Gm
All your protests and vacant excuses ring insincere
G5
I just want to find a car to overturn
G5
I just want to light a fire to watch it burn
A# G5 Gm
Now we're past the point of no return and no one is here
[Chorus 2]
A# F Gm Eb
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
A# F Gm
Breaking on the shore
A# F Gm Eb
Make your peace with broken streets
A# F G5 Gm
Your face turned towards the storm
G5 Gm
G5 Gm
G5 Gm

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
Gm F Eb
In between whispers and screams
Gm F Eb
You permeate my soul
Gm F Eb
Lost between nightmares and dreams
Gm F Eb
You decimate this home
[Chorus 3]
A# F Gm Eb
Learn to swim in rushing rivers
A# F Gm
Breaking on the shore
A# F Gm Eb
Make your peace with broken streets

Your face turned towards the storm
