The Waves

• Em

              Em Esus4      G 
There are waves up in the diamond sky 
                    D 
Stronger than you and I 
          Em Esus4                     G 
I'm a wave, I break through the barrier reef 
                 D                           D/C 
Cut through the carbon sea, approaching the shore 
Em Esus4                                                    G 
Look at the sky, look at the trees, man, it's all the same to me 
                                                                      D 
Look at the cars, look at the birds and all of these invented words 

One body's dying breath is another's birth 
D/C 
What are you running from' What are you running from' 
Em Esus4                                                              G 
Sister jewelry, brother judging, you are recognized this grudge 

Buried deep beneath the sands of these ridiculous demands 
D 
No time for innocence, or sitting on the fence 
D/C 
What are you gonna do' What are you gonna' 

             G                 G/F# 
When the waves cover the coastal plains 
                     F 
The tents and the cars and the trains 
         C                              G 
And the trace of honey bees sanitaries 
                                G/F#         
Of well insulated dignitaries 
                        F 
All screaming of the memory of the human love 
       C 
For anything, or anyone 

Em Esus4                                                            G 
Look at the birds, look at the bees, madam, it's all the same to me 
                                                                           D 
Look at the girls, look at the gold gathered, beat and bought and sold 


One man's innocence is another's chance 
D/C 
What were you thinking of' What were you thinking of' 
Em Esus4                            G 
Now please let me boil it down to this, my son 
D 
This party's getting wet, but it ain't over yet 
D/C 
So what is it gonna be' What is it gonna be' What is it gonna be' 
         
       G                        G/F# 
Just let the waves cover the coastal plains 
                 F 
The fear and guilt and the pain 
          C 
And the trace of honey bee jealousy 
G                         G/F# 
Of well insulated bigotry 
                  F 
And if you don't agree 
                                C 
You better get back inside your cave 
                                  Em 
'cause we're all dancing with the waves 

            G 
Up in the diamond sky 
                    D 
Stronger than you and I 
          D/C 
I'm a wave 
                       Em 
I break through the barrier reef 
                  G 
Cut through the carbon sea 


 D  D/C  Em  G
