[Am] [Dm] (2x)
[Am]I have never taken [Dm]life
Yet I have often paid the price
And you, you are a victim of this age
And the guilt that hangs around your neck
Has got me locked up in a cage
You've got to [F]learn to [G]live until no [Am]end
But first you must [F]learn to [G]swim all over [E]again
Because [Am]pain lies on the [Dm]riverside
And pain will never say goodbye
Pain lies on the riverside
So put your [E]feet in the water[F][G]
So put your head in the water
Put your [E]soul in the water
And [F]join me for a [G]swim [Am]tonight
[Am]I have forever always [Dm]tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized
I am aware now that the river's banks are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life
I've got to learn...
Because pain...
[Am] [Dm]
For a swim [Am]tonight[Dm]
I've got to learn...
Because pain...
[Am] [Dm]
For a swim [Am]tonight[Dm]
Shim all over all over all over again
Live all over all over all over again
Pain lies
[Am] [Dm] [Am]
[Am]I have never taken [Dm]life

So put your head in the water
Put your [E]soul in the water
And [F]join me for a [G]swim [Am]tonight
[Am]I have forever always [Dm]tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized
I am aware now that the river's banks are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life
