Rivers In The Dust Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]The[G] sw[Am]eat cuts
rivers in the [D]dust[Dm]
On your [F]face
While the wheels beneath [Am]complain
The wind still whistles through
[D]the haze[G][D]
[Dm]The [F]sun shines like a
[Am]razorblade[F]
[Dm]And the [G]bones of crops a[Gsus4]nd
[G]Bank[Gsus4]notes pave the way

[Verse 2]
The highways [G]are lined [F]with graves
[Am]Like the fingernails[G] of giants[F]
[Am]Like blood pulled thro[C]ugh a ve[F]in
[Am]We rush the [C]west in silenc[F]e
[Am]And I am not the o[Gsus4]ne
you [F]wanted here
But [Am]I will fil[F]l my post
[Am]Heaven's touch is [G]often [F]out of reach
To [Am]those who [F]want it most
[G]You wear

[Verse 3]
[F]a rose from yesterday
Like [C]the world is green and overgrown
[G]And I wear a handkerchi[F]ef
around my mouth
[C]To keep the dust and [G]ashes out
I'd dream a glass [F]of water
[C]With you dreaming of the sea[G]
And I'd watch my feet and
[F]You would watch the sky
[C]And we would wonder why our
[G]Eyes no longer [Am]meet

[Verse 4]
It was [Am]hard to call the thing
we [A]saw [G]a storm
Like it had climbed from the
Pages of some novel
[Am]And [F]the sheets of dust hit everything
Like waves against [G]the rocks
It was [E]morning but I'd be
Damned if I could tell
[A]And you would hold my hand
[Am]And close your eyes
And [A]I didn't [D]mind
When hell [Dm]bears [F]it's teeth
You learn your face and this [Am]god
For[A]saken [Am]sun could be the moon
For [A]all [D]it provides
Eyes are on [F]the roads
[E]Before it disappears again
