Verse:
Em
There are waves
Bm
Up in the diamond sky
D
Stronger than you and I
C (Em)
Am a wave
Bm
I break through the barrier reef
D
Cut through the carbon sea
C
Approaching the shore
Em
Look at the sky, look at the trees
Bm
Man, its all the same to me
Look at the cars, look at the birds
D
And all of these invented words
One bodys dying breath is anothers birth
C
What are you running from?
What are you running from?
Em Bm
Sister jewelry, brother judging, you are recognized this grudge
D
Buried deep beneath the sands of these ridiculous demands
No time for innocence, or sitting on the fence
C
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna
Chorus:
G
When the waves
Bm
Cover the coastal plains
F
The tents and the cars and the trains
C
And the trace of honey bees sanitaries
G
Of well insulated dignitaries
Bm F
All screaming of the memory of the human love
C
For anything, or anyone
Repeat the same pattern for the rest of the song.
