Till The Water Runs Clear

Gm Gm Close your eyes A# There, can you see it? Cm D# D7 The lens through which you judge the things I say Gm A# It's just like mine, if you can believe it Cm D# D7 But it ultimately differs night and day Gm A# When I try to make it nice, it gets worse Cm D# D7 And no amount of love can change the course Gm A# The more I try to smooth out the cracks Cm D# D7 I just can't seem to get you off my back Gm D7 Is it too late for me? F C7 How will I be remembered when I leave? Gm D7 Let it rain on me F C7 Let the water trickle down until I'm clean D# Gm F C7 Until the water runs clear, clear D# Gm F C7 'Til the water runs clear, clear 'Til the water runs clear Gm You say we're the same A# Yeah, do you mean it? Cm When you say you don't see color D# D7 Don't see me? Gm And my inherited shame A# Yeah, can you feel it? Cm D# D7 The burden of my father now on me Gm A# I don't think I'm meant for this world Cm D# D7 It wants me straight, but I huddle up and curl Gm A# But I don't want to give up the fight Cm D# It's black or white, it's wrong or right D7 And I am just a girl Gm D7 Is it too late for me? F C7 How will I be remembered when I leave? Gm D7 Let it rain on me F C7 Let the water trickle down until I'm clean D# Gm F C7 Until the water runs clear, clear D# Gm F C7 'Til the water runs clear, clear D# Ah-ah-ah Gm Ah-ah-ah F Ah-ah-ah C7 Ah-ah-ah D# Ah-ah-ah Gm Ah-ah-ah F Ah-ah-ah C7 Ah-ah-ah
