Capo on 3rd Fret
Am G Am
G
Where the river runs to black
Am
I take the schoolbooks from your pack
F
Plastics, wire and your kiss
Am
The breath of eternity on your lips
G
In the crowded marketplace
Am
I drift from face to face
F
I hold my breath and close my eyes
Am
I hold my breath and close my eyes
G
And I wait for paradise
Am
And I wait for paradise
G | G | Am | Am
G
The Virginia hills have gone to brown
Am
Another day, another sun goin' down
F
I visit you in another dream
Am
I visit you in another dream
G
I reach and feel your hair
Am
Your smell lingers in the air
F
I brush your cheek with my fingertips
Am
I taste the void upon your lips
G
And I wait for paradise
Am
And I wait for paradise
F | F | Am | Am | G | Am
G
I search for you on the other side
Am
Where the river runs clean and wide
F
Up to my heart the waters rise
Am
Up to my heart the waters rise
G
I sink 'neath the water cool and clear
Am
Drifting down, I disappear
F
I see you on the other side
Am
I search for the peace in your eyes
G
But they're as empty as paradise
Am
They're as empty as paradise
F | F | Am | Am | G | Am
G
I break above the waves
Am
I feel the sun upon my face
