[Verse]
[Am]The sweat cuts rivers in the [D]dust
On your [F]face
While the wheels beneath comp[Am]lain
The wind still whistles through the [D]haze
The [F]sun shines like a razor blade
And the [G]bones of crops and banknotes pave the way
[Interlude]

[Verse]
[Am]The highways are [G]lined with [F]graves[G]
[Am]Like the finger[G]nails of [F]giants[G]
[Am]Like blood pulled [G]through a [F]vein[G]
[Am]We rush the [G]west in [F]silence[G]
And [Am]I am not the [G]one you [F]wanted [G]here
But [Am]I will [G]fill my [F]post[G]
[Am]Heaven's touch is [G]often [F]out of [G]reach
To [Am]those who [G]want it [F]most
[G]You wear a rose from [F]yesterday
Like the [C]world is green and over[G]grown
And I wear a handker[F]chief around my mouth
To [C]keep the dust and ashes [G]out
I dream a glass of [F]water[C]
With you dreaming of the [G]sea
And I watch my feet and [F]you would watch the sky
And [C]we would wonder why our [G]eyes no longer [Am]meet
[Interlude]
[Am]
[Verse]
It was [Am]hard to call the thing we saw a storm
Like it had c[G]limbed from the pages of some novel
And the [F]sheets of dust hit everything like waves against the rocks
It was [E7]morning but I'd be damned if I could tell
And [Am]you would hold my hand and close your eyes
And I didn't [D]mind
When hell bears its [F]teeth
You learn your place and this [Am]god forsaken sun could be the moon
For all it pro[D]vides
Eyes are on the [F]road
[E7]Before it disappears again
