Am           C      Dm           F
Pissing in a river, watching it rise 
Am       C      Dm           F
Tattoo fingers shy away from me 
Am      C     Dm     F  
Voices voices mesmerize
Am       C     Dm       F 
Voices voices beckoning sea 
Am   C    Dm   F         Am   
Come come come come back come back
C         Dm         F 
Come back come back come back 

Spoke of a wheel, tip of a spoon 
Mouth of a cave, I'm a slave I'm free. 
When are you coming ? Hope you come soon 
Fingers, fingers encircling thee 
Come come come come come come 
Come come come come come come for me oh 

Am             C      Dm             F
My bowels are empty, excreting your soul 
Am               C         Dm            F
What more can I give you ? Baby I don't know 
Am               C           Dm              F
What more can I give you to make this thing grow?
Am               C         Dm             F 
Don't turn your back now, I'm talking to you 

Should I pursue a path so twisted ? 
Should I crawl defeated and gifted ? 
Should I go the length of a river 
[The royal, the throne, the cry me a river] 
Everything I've done, I've done for you 
Oh I give my life for you. 
Every move I made I move to you, 
And I came like a magnet for you now. 

What about it, you're gonna leave me, 
What about it, you don't need me, 
What about it, I can't live without you, 
What about it, I never doubted you 
What about it ? What about it ? 
What about it ? What about it ? 

Should I pursue a path so twisted ? 
Should I crawl defeated and gifted ? 
Should I go the length of a river, 
[The royal, the throne, the cry me a river] 
What about it, what about it, what about it ? 
Oh, I'm pissing in a river
