Verse:
                  Bb     Gm  Eb
We are just these people
                    Bb  Gm  Eb
Happy tangled lives
             Bb          Gm
We are only chemical and skin
        Eb                                  Bb    Gm  Eb
Barely strapped in for this air conditioned drive

                   Bb   Gm  Eb
We are tired of waiting
                        Bb  Gm  Eb
Still we stand in line
                Bb          Gm
This is all addition by subtraction
   Eb                           Bb   Gm  Eb
A simple chain reaction of the mind

Chorus:
                  Eb      C2      Gm
We are just these people running around
                Eb       C2          Gm
And I am in no hurry to figure it out
                  Eb       C2      Gm
We are just like old ships running aground
   Bb            Gm   Gm
In search of water,    In search of water

Bb Gm Eb x2

Verse 2:
                 Bb     Gm  Eb
We are just these people

Such tragic little things
               Bb                 Gm
You take your girlfriend to a drug deal
        Eb                                Bb   Gm  Eb     
fall in love and now she wears a diamond ring

                   Bb   Gm  Eb
We are tired of waiting
                         Bb  Gm  Eb
All bandages and strings
             Bb            Gm
Hold you together keep you up
             Eb                           Bb   Gm  Eb
And off you drift in no direction so it seems

Chorus 2:
                  Eb      C2      Gm
We are just these people running around
                Eb       C2          Gm
And I am in no hurry to figure it out
                  Eb       C2           Gm
We are just like old ships running aground
   Bb            Gm   Gm
In search of water,    In search of water

Gm
  ...In search of water

   I think we're learning that the answers never come (In search of water)
                                                 C2
I think I'll stay in here and watch the people run (In search of water)
