Sweet Water chords

[VERSE 1]
[G]These walls they've [Em]heard the war calls
They [C]watch the sun fall [D]over the feud
[G]And most days they h[Em]ear the lost pray
[C]Claiming the path lay [D]only in their view [G] [G/F#]

[CHORUS]
[C]And how can so much [D]beauty be
In [G]ancient hate [Em]filled memories
The [C]paper wishes [G]serve
only the [C]strong
when they are [D]weak

[C]Cries are drowned by [D]prayers of peace
For [G]them but not [Em]their enemies
And [C]more sweet [D]water leaves the dying [G]sea

[VERSE 2]
[G]These stones were small steps [Em]in long roads
They held [C]all the charred bones and [D]buried the clues
And each [G]holds a story [Em]that grows old
But [C]glories are retold [D]until they are [G]true

[CHORUS]
[C]And how can so much [D]beauty be
In [G]ancient hate [Em]filled memories
The [C]paper wishes [G]serve
only the [C]strong
when they are [D]weak

[C]Cries are drowned by [D]prayers of peace
For [G]them but not [Em]their enemies
And [C]more sweet [D]water leaves the dying [G]sea

[VERSE 3]
[G]These eyes they never really d[Em]ry
They [C]stay between weeping and [D]choking back tears
[G]They long for a people who [Em]care more
For p[C]eople who care for the [D]ones who they [G]fear

[CHORUS]
[C]And how can so much [D]beauty be
In [G]ancient hate [Em]filled memories
The [C]paper wishes [G]serve
only the [C]strong
when they are [D]weak

[C]But even all the [D]blurring lines
[G]They live as part [Em]but don't define
[C]Jerusalem is [D]shining over [Em]me
[C]Crying for the [D]dead and dying [G]sea

[OUTRO]
