Verse
E MajorE                C# minorC#m
This is what life is like on the ground
A augmentedA
I had a brother who was stationed up in northern hill county,
E MajorE            B5B5
no he never really came home
E MajorE                     C# minorC#m
We drove out east to red river to see the high water flow
   A augmentedA
That river was running just searching for an ocean
   E MajorE         B5B5
The freedom he'd never known
    C# minorC#m
That feeling you get when the wind is blowing like
    A augmentedA
your whole life is starting over
       E MajorE             B5B5
We made our peace there in the no mans land
       A5A5
where we come from

Chorus
     E MajorE
Ive been searching for
        C# minorC#m
The waves that carried us home
    A augmentedA
To the ocean we all came from
     E MajorE     B5B5
Where we wont be returned
     E MajorE
Ive been searching for
        C# minorC#m
The waves that carried us home
    A augmentedA
To the ocean we all came from
     E MajorE     B5B5
Where we wont be dissolved
   A augmentedA
into one

Verse
E MajorE                    C# minorC#m
Like a simple animal running on broken legs that night
   A augmentedA                     E MajorE
His voice was splintering rising, falling to a fate
         B5B5
he'll never get out
E MajorE                    C# minorC#m
From spokane all the way across montana out to the blood reserve
A augmentedA
Black levis jacket knocking them beers back on the
E MajorE       B5B5
bank of that river
C# minorC#m              A augmentedA
Underneath September skies in south US border
       E MajorE
he made his peace there
        B5B5
just after his boots
        A augmentedA
filled up with water

Chorus
     E MajorE
Ive been searching for
        C# minorC#m
The waves that carried us home
    A augmentedA
To the ocean we all came from
     E MajorE     B5B5
Where we wont be returned
     E MajorE
Ive been searching for
        C# minorC#m
The waves that carried us home
    A augmentedA
To the ocean we all came from
     E MajorE     B5B5
Where we wont be dissolved

E MajorE
Waves will wash away
   C# minorC#m
the misguided vision
A augmentedA
Glory in a battlefield
    E MajorE    B5B5
of a thousand corpses
     E MajorE
Ive been searching for
        C# minorC#m
The waves that carried us home
    A augmentedA
To the ocean we all came from
     E MajorE     B5B5
Where we wont be dissolved

A augmentedA   Ab5Ab5   F#5F#5  Ab5Ab5   E MajorE
Out of the rain
