[Intro]

D# A# F F
[Verse 1]
D# A# F
All these cities' secrets leech into the soil
D# A# F
Where the river picks them up and drags them on
D# A# F
If you lay back on it, let it float you home
D# A# F
All the centuries drift from the bridges up above
[Chorus]
Cm A# F
I was someone's daughter, I was somoone's son
D# A# F
And the headlines don't call me by my name
Cm A# F
Still the headlines don't call me by my name
D# A# F
Someday I'll be running like a coyote
D# A# F
Someday I'll be running like the wolves
D# A# F
Wherever water guides me I will follow
D# A# F
Oh someday we'll be free enough to grow
D# A# F
Oh someday we'll be wise enough
[Verse 2]
D# A# F
Swim out on the river banks searching in the mud
D# A# F
While the city wakes itself to greet the sun
D# A# F
Still I am not a hero I am only human
D# A# F
I just jumped right after when they fell in
[Chorus]
Cm A# F
I was someone's daughter, I was somoone's son
D# A# F
And the headlines don't call me by my name
Cm A# F
Still the headlines don't call me by my name
D# A# F
Someday I'll be running like a coyote
D# A# F
Someday I'll be running like the wolves
D# A# F
Wherever water guides me I will follow
D# A# F
Oh someday we'll be free enough to grow
D# A# F
Oh someday we'll be wise enough
D# A# F
Someday we'll be wise enough
