C#m A E

I am the stranger in the shadows

C#m A E

I am the sleeper at the wheel

C#m A E

Am I the choice & the anonymous voice

C#m A E

That says none of it's real

C#m A E

I've heard the footsteps of the hungry

C#m A E

I've heard the breathing of relief

C#m A E

I heard the scream of a mother in a dream

C#m A E

But that could have been me

C#m A E

I walked out to the grieving ocean

C#m A E

I lay down by the thirsty sea

C#m A E

I found a man there dying without water

C#m A E

He looked just like me

C#m A E

I have come from the walls of worry

C#m A E

I fled the wounded streets of war

C#m A E

I walked a thousand miles in the wrong direction

C#m A E

But what was it for?

C#m A E

I am a chorus of the guilty

C#m A E

I am the water on the ground

C#m A E

I am collectively the face of the lost

C#m A E

Who want to be found

C#m A E

We drink to love and deception

C#m A E

We drink to charity and greed

C#m A E

We drink to numb the very thing we've become

C#m A E

when its water we need

C#m A B E C#m A E

Water, oh water, w a t e r
