[Verse] G# D# C# C# - Fm Fm C  C

All that I have is a river  - …       G#  C#  Fm C#

The river is always my home - …       G#  Bbm C#  C#

Lord, take me away - For I just cannot stay

Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones

[Hook] G# D# G# C# - G# D# Fm Fm - C# C# (G# G# G# G#)

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] (C C Fm Fm x2) - G# Bbm G# Bbm - G# D# C# C#

Now the land that I knew is a dream      - … C# C#

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)
