Restless    (video)

 

    G - C - G - C (2x)

 

   G                                                       C

1. I am the sea on a moonless night, calling, falling, slipping tides,

   G                                                      C

    I am the leaky, dripping pipes, the endless aching drops of light.

   G                                                C

    I am the raindrop falling down, always longing for the deeper ground,

   G                                                  C

    I am the broken, breaking seas, even my blood finds ways to bleed.

 

     Em                                        C

    Even the rivers ways to run, even the rain to reach the sun,

    Em                                   C

    even my thirsty streams, even in my dreams :

 

         G                    C                   G                              C

I am restless, I am restless, I am restless, looking for you !

         G                                C                              G                             C

I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore, I’m looking for you !

 

    G                                                  C

2. I am the thorn stuck in your side, I am the one that you left behind,

   G                                                     C

    I am the dried up, doubting eyes, looking for the well that won’t run dry.

     G                                                       C

   Running hard for the other side, the world that I’ve always been denied,

     G                                                        C

    running hard for the infinite, with the tears of the saints and hypocrites.

 

            Em                                                   C

   Oh, blood of black and white and gray, death and life and night and day,

    Em                                C

    one by one by one, we let our rivers run.

 

+  CHORUS

 

                                  G                                    C

+  I can’t hear you breathing, I can’t feel you leaving,

                                 G                                    C

    more than just a feeling, more than just a feeling.

                            G                                              C

    I can feel you reaching, pushing through the ceiling,

                            G                                 C

    until the final healing, I’m looking for you.

       Em                                              C

    Until the sea of glass we meet, at last completed and complete,

          Em                                            C

    the tide of tear and pain subside, laughter drinks them dry.

 

               G                   C                      G                              D

3. I’ll be waiting, anticipating, all that I aim for, what I was made for

                        G                              C                                G

    with every heartbeat, all of my blood bleeds, running inside me,

                        C

    looking for you !

                        G                       C                       G                      C

    Looking for you, looking for you, looking for you, looking for you !

 

         G                    C                   G                              C

I am restless, I am restless, I am restless, looking for you !

         G                                C                              G                       C

I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore, looking for you !

 

                         G   - C                        - G - C

+  Looking for you,        yeah, yeah !                      + G - C - G - C

 

                                  G                                    C

+  I can’t hear you breathing, I can’t feel you leaving,

                                 G                                    C

    more than just a feeling, more than just a feeling.

                            G                                              C

    I can feel you reaching, pushing through the ceiling,

                            G                                 C

    until the final healing, I’m looking for you.

 

                         G   - C                        - G - C - G

+  Looking for you,        yeah, yeah !
