What's the use of holding out

A work sore hand to catch some rain

It turns up empty, all is dry

G G Em Bm Am

And all you ever wanted was some rain

G Em Bm Am

Was some rain

If heaven is the future

Why is it that that you refuse to go

There now with all you have

G G Em Bm Am

You really should do more than just complain

G Em Bm Am

Just complain

Such a rotten taste

Is left when you don't think to say that

It's just such a sorry waste

G G Em Bm Am

To take the easy way out of the pain

G Em Bm Am

Of the pain

D G

G C

G Bm Em C

When the end shines from the deep

G Bm Em C

And all the hate and all the hell that history has released

G Bm Em C

Would tremble before your valor if you'd just get down on your knees

G Bm Em C

And promise to all your children true that you will live in peace

G Em

Where's the light to shine on me

Bm D

Oh, send me something, send me please

G Em

Cleanse my body, close my eyes

Bm G Em D

I'm naked and prepared to die

G Em

In the starry atmosphere

G D

When all the questions disappear

G Em

And pressure with a salty taste

Em G Em D G

Exalts the tears that soak your face.
