Backwater

Meat Puppets


 E5F#5
 And when I wake up in the morning
 C5E5
 To feel the daybreak on my face
 E5F#5
 There's a blood that's flowin' through the feeling
 C5E5
With a knife to open up the sky's vein
 EC#m
        Some things...will never change
 C
        They just stand there looking backwards
 D
        Half unconscious from the pain
 EC#m
        It may seem...rearranged
 CD
        In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
And when I shoulda' been gone a long time
Laughs...and says I find ways
Just when we're sheltered under paper
The rockets come at us sideways
 EC#m
        Some things...will never change
 C
        They just stand there looking backwards
 D
        Half unconscious from the pain
 EC#m
        It may seem...rearranged
 CD
        In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
 F-GCB
                Hey...I'm blind
 D
                Good...fine
 CB
                Roll the time
 D
                On whose dime?
-Solo-(over E-C#m-C-D)
And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowin' through the ceiling
With a knife to open up the sky's vein
Some things...will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half unconscious from the pain
It may seem...rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
Some things...will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half unconscious from the pain
It may seem...rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change
