You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy. 
         G                    Em 
You sat alone under billowing sky 
          D           Em 
If I feel God judging me, 
                     D                  Em 
Well I fell into the water, and now I'm free.

        Em 
Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace 
        G              D                     C             Em 
Inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face.

The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don't hear so well. 
        D 
You're gonna have to curse him, 
             Em 
Well you're gonna have to yell. 
     Em 
The sky and I, we've had our fights and I'm coming round to rain, 
        G                   D 
If the rain come round and don't go out,

The captains got his boots on and he's heading out the door, 
 D                               Em 
Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don't love me no more." 
      Em 
He's done with all this bullshit,  

He's going back to war, 
    G            D 
If Heaven is as Heaven does,
