This River by JJ Grey & Mofro
This River
Capo:no capo
D Bm
Stare at a picture but there's nothing for it
G A D
I pull on the bottle and watch this river roll on by
D Bm
Trying to find purpose trying to see meaning
G A D
Trying to make sense of the nonsense that I've called my life
D A
Cause only this river can bear me to safety
Bm G
Only this river can bear me away
Bm G Bm G A
D Bm
See them all work and play there on the other bank
G A D
Warm in their houses while I face my cold alone
D Bm
Guess I've been a drinking away to keep the wolves of my mind at bay
G A D
But if you run, you die I'm just too tired to care
D A
Cause only this river can bear me to safety
Bm G
Only this river can bear me away
D A
I feel her flowing, flowing right through me
Bm G
I hear her whispers drowning my words
This River by JJ Grey and Mofro
D Bm
only this river only this river
G A D
Only this river can save me from myself
D A
Where did my soul go? Where did my spirit hide?
Bm G
Why won't they rescue me from the pain in my mind?
D A
Cause only this river In all of her glory
Bm G
Only this river can bare me away
D Bm D Bm D Bm D
Only this river Only this river Only this river...
