River Of Lead

Aaron Sprinkle

tom:

Bm            A
  Sleep tight memories
      E
We’ve all gotta turn in sometimes
Bm           A
  Fall back, take a seat
        E
Cause I never made it past the headlines
    Bm                   A
And who could ever understand
         E
The obligation that was forcing my hand?
G
  Another chance for grace to win
F#
  As I give in

[Chorus]
Bm        A        D      G
Down this river of lead I roll
Bm              A    G
Feel it pull me underneath
       Bm         A           D     G
If the fire don’t kill me the water will
F#              A#7
Feel it pull me underneath

[Post-Chorus]
Bm           D       A   E
Nah, nah nah nah, nayah, oh

Lay me down to sleep
Bm           D       A   E
Nah, nah nah nah, nayah, oh

I pray there’s something left to keep

[Verse 2]

Bm          A                      E
  I hold my breath and wait for the mountain to move
Bm           A                      E
  But I forget there’s nothing that I can do
          Bm                     A
I guess I never seem to choose a side
           E
The conversation’s taking place in my mind
G
  Another chance for grace to win
F#
  If I give in

[Chorus]
Bm        A        D      G
Down this river of lead I roll
Bm              A    G
Feel it pull me underneath
       Bm         A           D     G
If the fire don’t kill me the water will
F#              A#7
Feel it pull me underneath

[Post-Chorus]
Bm           D       A   E
Nah, nah nah nah, nayah, oh

Lay me down to sleep
Bm           D       A   E
Nah, nah nah nah, nayah, oh

I pray there’s something left

[Bridge]
D         Bm7            A/C#
Oh if you could, but you can’t get by
    D           Bm7   A/C#
You ain’t gonna be anything if you don’t try

[Chorus]
Bm        A        D      G
Down this river of lead I roll
Bm              A    G
Feel it pull me underneath
       Bm         A           D     G
If the fire don’t kill me the water will
F#              A#7  Bm
Feel it pull me underneath
Bm        A        D      G
Down this river of lead I roll
Bm              A    G
Feel it pull me underneath
       Bm         A           D     G
If the fire don’t kill me the water will
F#              A#7
Feel it pull me underneath

[Post-Chorus]
Bm           D       A   E
Nah, nah nah nah, nayah, oh

Lay me down to sleep
Bm           D       A   E
Nah, nah nah nah, nayah, oh
                                 Bm
I pray there’s something left to keep
