Verse
E5                                C#5
This is what life is like on the ground
A5
I had a brother who was stationed up in northern hill county, 
E5                       B5
no he never really came home
E5                                         C#5
We drove out east to red river to see the high water flow
      A5
That river was running just searching for an ocean
     E5                  B5
The freedom he'd never known
       C#5
That feeling you get when the wind is blowing like
        A5    
your whole life is starting over
              E5                         B5
We made our peace there in the no mans land
             A5
where we come from

Chorus
         E5
Ive been searching for
                C#5
The waves that carried us home
        A5
To the ocean we all came from
          E5         B5
Where we wont be returned
          E5
Ive been searching for
                C#5
The waves that carried us home
        A5
To the ocean we all came from
          E5         B5
Where we wont be dissolved
      A5
into one

Verse
E5                                       C#5
Like a simple animal running on broken legs that night
     A5                                          E5
His voice was splintering rising, falling to a fate 
                 B5
he'll never get out
E5                                       C#5
From spokane all the way across montana out to the blood reserve
A5                                     
Black levis jacket knocking them beers back on the 
E5             B5
bank of that river
C#5                            A5
Underneath September skies in south US border
              E5
he made his peace there 
                B5
just after his boots 
                A5
filled up with water


Chorus
         E5
Ive been searching for
                C#5
The waves that carried us home
        A5
To the ocean we all came from
          E5         B5
Where we wont be returned
          E5
Ive been searching for
                C#5
The waves that carried us home
        A5
To the ocean we all came from
          E5         B5
Where we wont be dissolved

E5
Waves will wash away 
      C#5
the misguided vision
A5
Glory in a battlefield 
        E5        B5
of a thousand corpses
          E5
Ive been searching for
                C#5
The waves that carried us home
        A5
To the ocean we all came from
          E5         B5
Where we wont be dissolved

A5      Ab5     F#5   Ab5     E5
Out of the rain
