Intro: G D7/F# Em C

   G                        D7/F#
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
   Em                     C           G
I know I haven't been the best of sons
(G)                               D7/F#
Hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
    Em                C
And I haven't found a drop...
    G        D7/F#
Of life.
(D7/F#)           Em        C
I haven't found a drop...Of you

(C)               G   D7/F#
I haven't found a drop...
                  Em  C
I haven't found a drop...
    G    D7/F#  Em  C
Of water
(C)     G  D7/F#  Em  C
Waaaaaater            Ooohh
G   D7/F#   Em   C
ahh...

G
I tried desperately to run through the sand
      D7/F#
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
 Em
'Cause it's all that I have, and it's all that I need
         C
And the waves of the water mean nothing to me
G
But I tried my best and all that I can
         D7/F#
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
Em
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
    C
The sand will slow me down, and the water will drain
G
I'm just begin dramatic, in fact
                D7/F#
I'm only at it again

As an addict with a pen

Who's addicted to wind
       Em
As it blows me back and forth

Mindless, spineless, and pretend
    C
Of course I'll be here again

See you tomorrow
                     G
But it's the end of today

End of my ways

As a walking denial
    D7/F#
My trial was filed

As a crazy suicidal headcase
         Em
But you specialize in dying
                             C
You hear me screaming, "Father!"

And I'm lying here just crying
                       G     D7/F#    Em    C
So wash me with your water


Waaaaaaater

Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
I know I haven't been the best of sons
Hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
And I, I haven't found a drop...of life!
I haven't found a drop...of You!
I haven't found a drooooooop...
I haven't found a drooooooop...
Of water...
