Intro
A5 Ab5 F#5 Ab5 E
Verse
E C#m
This is what life is like on the ground
A
I had a brother who was stationed up in northern hill county,
E B5
no he never really came home
E C#m
We drove out east to red river to see the high water flow
A
That river was running just searching for an ocean
E B5
The freedom he'd never known
C#m
That feeling you get when the wind is blowing like
A
your whole life is starting over
E B5
We made our peace there in the no mans land
A5
where we come from
Chorus
E
Ive been searching for
C#m
The waves that carried us home
A
To the ocean we all came from
E B5
Where we wont be returned
E
Ive been searching for
C#m
The waves that carried us home
A
To the ocean we all came from
E B5
Where we wont be dissolved
A
into one
Verse
E C#m
Like a simple animal running on broken legs that night
A E
His voice was splintering rising, falling to a fate
B5
he'll never get out
E C#m
From spokane all the way across montana out to the blood reserve
A
Black levis jacket knocking them beers back on the
E B5
bank of that river
C#m A
Underneath September skies in south US border
E
he made his peace there
B5
just after his boots
A
filled up with water
Chorus
E
Ive been searching for
C#m
The waves that carried us home
A
To the ocean we all came from
E B5
Where we wont be returned
E
Ive been searching for
C#m
The waves that carried us home
A
To the ocean we all came from
E B5
Where we wont be dissolved
E
Waves will wash away
C#m
the misguided vision
A
Glory in a battlefield
E B5
of a thousand corpses
E
Ive been searching for
C#m
The waves that carried us home
A
To the ocean we all came from
E B5
Where we wont be dissolved
A Ab5 F#5 Ab5 E
Out of the rain
