Live - Overcome (CHORDS INCLUDED)

This song was originally written by Ed Kowalczyk (lead singer for Live) a year prior to 9/11. However, it was played tons of times throughout the news coverage and in various tributes to the victims of Sept 11th. Very moving song... Bm x24422
A x02220
E 022100
F#m 244222
D XX0232

Even now the world is bleedin' but feelin' just fine all numb
in our castle where we're always free to choose never free enough
to find i wish somethin' would break cuz we're runnin' out of time

and i am overcome i am overcome holy water in my lungs i am overcome

these women in the street pullin' out their hair my master's
in the yard givin' light to the unaware this plastic little place
is just a step amongst the stairs

and i am overcome i am overcome baby holy water in my lungs i am overcome

so drive me out out to that open field turn the ignition off
and spin around your help is here but i'm parked in this open space
blockin' the gates of love

i am overcome i am overcome holy water in my lungs i am overcomed

I am in a forward position in Iraq awaiting exfil by helo's. My team and I are listening to your post over and over. We are about to leave this god forsaken place forever. We leave behind some that came with us. Sitting in this dirty hmmv, dirty clothes, dirty weapons, and dirty hands and dirty souls. We are over come. I am overcome. Thank you for the post.
