Radical Face - Rivers in the Dust: chords

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

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

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

       D#m
It was hard to call the thing we saw a storm
             C#
Like it had climbed from the pages of some novel
           B
And the sheets of dust hit everything like
waves against the rocks
       A#7
It was morning but I'd be damned if I could tell
    D#m
And you would hold my hand and close your eyes
             G#
And I didn't mind
                     B
When hell bears its teeth
                              D#m
You learn your place and this god
forsaken sun could be the moon
               G#
For all it provides
                 B
Eyes are on the road
A#7
Before it disappears again
