[Verse]

E                           D
Give me something I can feel
E                       D
This time I wanna rain dance for real
         E               D
Wash the dust of dirty wheels
E                               D
 Give me the waters that could help me heal and
E        D      E     D
Hold the old me down
(Give me the waters that could help me heal)
E        D      E     
Hold the old me down
(Let the rain come down)


[Pre-chorus]

               D         Asus2
On the thirsty ground
                   E
Let the rains come down
                    D       A
I want to drink the clouds
Like holy water

E  D (x2)


[Verse]

  E                               D
I felt like this when I was a boy
E                      D
  A firefly in Illinois
          E                       D
A pair of wings and an electric heart
E                     D
 Broken wings and a shot in the dark

          E    D       E   D
With that fire in our eyes
(Lighting up the summertime sky)
          E    D       E   
With that fire in our eyes
(I felt so alive)


[Pre-chorus]

                        D      A
But now I'm praying for rain
                    E
I want to make that change
                       D       A
I got your blood in my veins
Like holy water


[Chorus]

E         G           C
Sisters, sons, and daughters
                A
Hold me down with the holy water
E          G            C
Blisters, guns, and fathers
              A
Hold me down with the...
Hold me down with the...

E         G           C
Sisters, sons, and daughters
              A
Hold me down with the holy water
C              A                  E
 Hold me down with the holy water
Like holy water

E  D (x4)


[Verse]

E                        D
My head is aching like a riot
E                     D     
 Forty days in the desert pain
       E                        D
When I hear the lies I don't buy it
E                       D
Still looking for the desert rain and I
E                         D
 Fight the fire with the fire
E                            D
 I want to taste your love again and I
E                     D
 Let the flood rise higher
E
 Wash the doubt away


[Pre-chorus]

                         D     A
But now I'm praying for rain
                     E
I want to make that change
                       D       A
I got your blood in my veins
                 E  D
Like holy water

(Like holy water)
