[Verse] E B A A - C#m C#m G#  G#

All that I have is a river  - …       E  A  C#m A

The river is always my home - …       E  F#m A  A

Lord, take me away - For I just cannot stay

Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones

[Hook] E B E A - E B C#m C#m - A A (E E E E)

The water sustains me    - Without even trying

The water can't drown me - I'm done

With my (dy-y-ing)                   [Intro

                                        Hook] ()

Please help me build a small boat - … ╔════════╗

One that will ride on the flow    - … ║ Johnny ║

Where the river runs deep             ║  Flynn ║

And the larger fish creep             ╚════════╝

I'm glad of what keeps me afloat          [Hook]

                                   ╔═══════════╗

Now deeper the water I sail   - …  ║ The Water ║

And faster the current I'm in - …  ╚═══════════╝

That each night brings the stars

And the song in my heart               [Hook] ()

Is a tune for the journeyman's tale      (dying)

   [Bridge] (G# G# C#m C#m x2) - E F#m E F#m - E B A A

Now the land that I knew is a dream      - … A A

And the line on the distance grows faint - …

So wide is my river - The horizon a sliver ╔═══╗

The artist has run out of pai-ai-aint      ║ ¾ ║

                                           ╚═══╝

Where the blue of the sea meets the sky  - …

And the big yellow sun leads me home     - …

I'm everywhere now - The way is a vow

To the wind of each                    [Hook] ()

    breath by and by    [Outro - Hook] (/…) (x2)
