Intro: GD7/F#EmCGD7/F#
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
EmCG
I know I haven't been the best of sons
(G)D7/F#
Hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
EmC
And I haven't found a drop...
GD7/F#
Of life.
(D7/F#)EmC
I haven't found a drop...Of you
(C)GD7/F#
I haven't found a drop...
EmC
I haven't found a drop...
GD7/F#EmC
Of water
(C)GD7/F#EmC
Waaaaaater Ooohh
GD7/F#EmC
ahh...
G
I tried desperately to run through the sand
D7/F#
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
Em
'Cause it's all that I have, and it's all that I need
C
And the waves of the water mean nothing to me
G
But I tried my best and all that I can
D7/F#
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
Em
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
C
The sand will slow me down, and the water will drain
G
I'm just begin dramatic, in fact
D7/F#
I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen
Who's addicted to wind
Em
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
C
Of course I'll be here again
See you tomorrow
G
But it's the end of today
End of my ways
As a walking denial
D7/F#
My trial was filed
As a crazy suicidal headcase
Em
But you specialize in dying
C
You hear me screaming, "Father!"
And I'm lying here just crying
GD7/F#EmC
So wash me with your water
