Woke up from where she was lyin' still

Said I gotta do something

About where we're going

 Step on a steam train

 Step out of the driving rain, maybe

 She runs through the streets

Under a black belly of cloud in the rain

In through a doorway

She brings me white golden pearls

Stolen from the sea

She is ragin', she is raging
    G
And the storm blows up in her eyes

She will suffer the needle chill
A         G   D   G D G
 She's running to stand still

 Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of love
       Bb     F       C
You know his blood still cries from the ground

It runs like a river runs to the sea

It runs like a river to the sea

Verse 3:
C              F
 I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
   Bb        F      C
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
C              F
 I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
    Bb       F    C
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill


Chorus:
       Bb  F      C
We run like a river runs to the sea
       Bb  F   C
We run like a river to the sea


Bridge:
       Bb   F     C
And when it's rainin', rainin' hard
        Bb    F   C
That's when the rain will break a heart
Bb    F
Rainin', rainin' in your heart
C
Rainin' in your heart
Bb    F
Rainin', rain into your heart
C
Rainin', rainin', rainin'
Bb        F
 Rain into your heart
C       Bb      F
Rainin', ooh, rain in your heart, yeah
C
Feel it


Outro:
C     F
 Oh great ocean
Bb F   C
Oh great sea
C     F
Run to the ocean
Bb F   C
Run to the sea
