High Water
Uncle Tupelo, from the CD "Anodyne"
by Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar

D                                A
Tried to face up to the blinding sun
           Bm
Racing for the final word to come
             G       G/F#
Facing up is hard to stay devout (???)
        D       A                     G
I can't see the sand and it's running out
         D       G
And it's running out


(Same chords as above, except end on Em instead of G)

We quote each other only when we're wrong
We tear out the threads and move along
Can't seem to find common ground
I can't see the sand and it's running out

            A
It was only circumstances
             D
But it's the difference
               A
It gets in the way
           Em          A
No race is run in this direction
                D
You can't break even
          A             Bm
You can't even quit the game

D G D  A Bm G D A G D G

(Same chords as first verse)
The current drags to the bottom
A hemmorage that moves us around
It pulls and beckons, strong direction
High water forever bringing us down
I can't see the sand and it's running out
                 Em
And it's running out

It was only circumstances....
play the same chords, except end on G D instead of Bm
