Roll Like A River
Trans by: Mark Cheney

Capo on the third fret
Intro
G C D (4x)
G Em C D
Falling down and falling out - part of growing up.
G Em C D
Remember how you used to think enough was not enough?
G Em C D
Fueled by the fantasy of having too much,
G Em C D
Everything seemed turned on this, then the idea stuck.
Chorus (2x)
G Em C D
Well, you could roll like a river into the dirty sea
G Em C D
Or you could swim upstream with me
Am D B Em
You landed more than just a job
E A
Got the rest thrown in for free
D B Em
A world of compromises, lies
E Am D
The whole mentality
G Em C D
Turn around and face the flow, start to swim.
G Em C D
The deeper they dig the hole, the more of us fall in.
G Em C D
Every door they open leads to another door.
G Em C D
The good worker never gets what he's dying for.
G Em C D
And we all walk blindly down the well-worn way.
G Em C D
The slave driver rules with the collusion of the slaves.
(Chorus)
