♫ Intro:
Em Am Em
C Am C
Em C Em
♫ Verse 1:
C Am Em
Modern industrial life
C Am Em
Take your soul in its fangs
C Am Em
We might as well be
C Am Em
All washed away
C Am Em
If I don’t hang on tight
C Am Em
If I let myself stray
C Am Em
I will lose my sight
C Am Em
And I will be washed away
♫ Chorus:
Dm F Am
And, oh, some days I walk my own
Dm F Am
Oh, my own pace
C G Am
It takes away the heartache
♫ Verse 2:
C Am Em
It seems no one has their own eyes
C Am Em
And we all speak from the cage
C Am Em
Are we living in fright
C Am Em
Consenting to be washed away
♫ Verse 3:
C Am Em
I’ll lose my heart, my own eyes
C Am Em
I’ll lose the smell of the rain
C Am Em
As I walk aimless in the night
C Am Em
I will be washed away
♫ Chorus:
Dm F Am
And, oh, some days I brush the palm
Dm F Am
Oh, of my hand
C G Am
Across the face of this forgotten land
♫ Verse 4:
C Am Em
I left my print in the sand
C Am Em
Organic mark made
C Am Em
I got up and walked in the night
C Am Em
And I refused to be washed away
♫ Verse 5:
C Am Em
The burden of modern life
C Am Em
The heart it beats and it prays
C Am Em
Forever to walk in the night
C Am Em
And never be washed away
♫ Outro:
Dm F Am
And, oh, some days I walk my own
Dm F Am
Oh, my own pace
C G Am
It takes away the heartache
Dm F Am
And oh some days
I brush the palm
Dm F Am
Oh, of my hand
C G Am
Across the face of this forgotten land
