C#5        A5               E5
I am the stranger in the shadows
C#5        A5               E5     
I am the sleeper at the wheel
C#5        A5               E5
Am I the choice & the anonymous voice
C#5        A5               E5 
That says none of it's real 

C#5        A5               E5
I've heard the footsteps of the hungry 
C#5        A5               E5
I've heard the breathing of relief 
C#5        A5               E5
I heard the scream of a mother in a dream 
C#5        A5               E5
But that could have been me    

C#5        A5               E5
I walked out to the grieving ocean 
C#5        A5               E5
I lay down by the thirsty sea 
C#5        A5               E5
I found a man there dying without water 
C#5        A5               E5
He looked just like me 

C#5        A5               E5
I have come from the walls of worry 
C#5        A5               E5
I fled the wounded streets of war 
C#5        A5               E5
I walked a thousand miles in the wrong direction 
C#5        A5               E5
But what was it for? 

C#5        A5               E5
I am a chorus of the guilty 
C#5        A5               E5
I am the water on the ground 
C#5        A5               E5
I am collectively the face of the lost 
C#5        A5               E5
Who want to be found 

C#5        A5               E5   
We drink to love and deception 
C#5        A5               E5
We drink to charity and greed 
C#5        A5               E5
We drink to numb the very thing we've become 
C#5        A5               E5
when its water we need 

C#5 A5     B5   E5   C#5 A5   E5
Water, oh water, w a t e r
