[Intro]
Am Dm Am Dm
Am                 Dm
I have never taken life
Am                 Dm
Yet I have often paid the price
Am                 Dm
And you, you are a victim of this age
Am                 Dm
And the guilt that hangs around your neck
Am                 Dm
Has got me locked up in a cage
              F        G             Am
You've got to learn to live until no end
                   F        G             E
But first you must learn to swim all over again oh no
     Am               Dm
Because pain lies on the riverside (yes)
      Am               Dm
And pain will never say goodbye (oh no)
      Am               Dm
Pain lies on the riverside
            E                F  G
So put your feet in the water
            E                F  G
So put your head in the water
         E
Put your soul in the water
    F             G    Am
And join me for a swim tonight
Am                    Dm
I have forever always tried
Am                    Dm
To stay clean and constantly baptized (oh-ho)
Am                    Dm
I am aware now that the river's banks are dry
Am                    Dm
And to wait for a flood
Am                    Dm
Is to wait for life
             F        G             Am
I've got to learn to live until no end
             F        G             E
But first I must learn to swim all over again (yeah, yeah, yeah)
     Am                  Dm
Because pain lies on the riverside (yes)
      Am                 Dm
And pain will never say goodbye (oh no)
      Am               Dm
Pain lies on the riverside
            E                F  G
So put your feet in the water
            E                F  G
So put your head in the water now
         E
C'mon Put your soul in the water
    F             G    Am
And join me for a swim tonight (yeah)
     Am      Dm
For a swim tonight
Am                 Dm
Shim all over all over all over again
Am                 Dm
Live all over all over all over again
Am
Pain lies
