Radical Face - Rivers in the Dust

      [Verse]

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

[Verse]

Am               G          F        G
The highways are lined with graves
Am             G        F         G
Like the fingernails of giants
Am                G         F      G
Like blood pulled through a vein
Am          G       F         G
We rush the west in silence
    Am           G       F      G
And I am not the one you wanted here
    Am     G       F      G
But I will fill my post
Am                G     F      G
Heaven's touch is often out of reach
   Am        G       F
To those who want it most

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


[Interlude] 

Am


[Verse]

       Am
It was hard to call the thing we saw a storm
             G
Like it had climbed from the pages of some novel
        F
And the sheets of dust hit everything like waves against the rocks
       E7
It was morning but I'd be damned if I could tell
    Am
And you would hold my hand and close your eyes
             D
And I didn't mind
                    F
When hell bears its teeth
                              Am
You learn your place and this god forsaken sun could be the moon
              D
For all it provides
                F
Eyes are on the road
E7
Before it disappears again
