A5                  D5
 I have never taken life.
A5                       D5
 Yet I have often paid the price
A5                               D5
 And you, you are a victim of this age
AM
 And the guilt that hangs around your neck
D5 
 Has got me locked up in a cage
              F5        G5             A5
 You've to to learn to live until no end
               F5             G5
 But first you must learn to swim
          E5     /Stop/
 All over again
 
 Because...


A5                D5
 Pain lies on the riverside
A5                   D5
 And pain will never say goodbye
A5                D5 
 Pain lies on the riverside
             E5                    F(2 beats) G(4 beats)
 So put your feet in the water now 
          E5                    F(2 beats) G(4 beats)
 Put your head in the water now 
          A5
 Put your soul in the water
     F5             G5         E5  /Stop/ 
 And join me for a swim tonight


A5                      D5
 I have forever, always tried
          A5                       D5
 To stay clean and constantly baptized
      A5                               D5
 I am aware that the river's banks are dry
        A5
 And to wait for a flood,
       D5
 Is to wait for life
            F5        G5                 A5
 I've got to learn to live until no end
             F5             G5       
 But first I must learn to swim all
          E5 /Stop/ 
 Over again, 

 Because...
 

 A5               D5
 Pain lies on the riverside... [Repeat Chorus]. End.
