D#m G# The sweat cuts rivers in the dust B On your face D#m While the wheels beneath complain G# The wind still whistles through the haze B The sun shines like a razor blade C# And the bones of crops and banknotes pave the way D#m C# B C# The highways are lined with graves D#m C# B C# Like the fingernails of giants D#m C# B C# Like blood pulled through a vein D#m C# B C# We rush the west in silence D#m C# B C# And I am not the one you wanted here D#m C# B C# But I will fill my post D#m C# B C# Heaven's touch is often out of reach D#m C# B To those who want it most C# B You wear a rose from yesterday F# C# Like the world is green and overgrown B And I wear a handkerchief around my mouth F# C# To keep the dust and ashes out B F# I dream a glass of water C# With you dreaming of the sea B And I watch my feet and you would watch the sky F# C# D#m And we would wonder why our eyes no longer meet D#m It was hard to call the thing we saw a storm C# Like it had climbed from the pages of some novel B And the sheets of dust hit everything like waves against the rocks A#7 It was morning but I'd be damned if I could tell D#m And you would hold my hand and close your eyes G# And I didn't mind B When hell bears its teeth D#m You learn your place and this god forsaken sun could be the moon G# For all it provides B Eyes are on the road A#7 Before it disappears again You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#7  C#  D#m  F#  G#  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
