C G Am F


C          G         FAll that I have is a river
    Am                EThe river is always my home
      C         F        Am          FLord, take me away for I just cannot stay
        C          G           AmOr I'll sink in my skin and my bones


    C        G           C         FThe water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            AmThe water can't drown me, I'm done
        F     CWith my dyy...ing

C          G         FPlease help me build a small boat
    Am                EOne that'll ride on the flow
      C         F        Am          FWhere the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep
        C          G           AmI'm glad of what keeps me afloat


    C        G           C         FThe water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            AmThe water can't drown me, I'm done
        F     CWith my dyy...ing

C          G         FNow deeper the water I sail
    Am                EAnd faster the current I'm in
      C         F        Am          FSo wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
        C          G           AmThe artist has run out of paint


    C        G           C         FThe water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            AmThe water can't drown me, I'm done
        F     CWith my dyy...ing

C          G         FWhere the blue of the sea meets the sky
    Am                EAnd the big yellow sun leads me home
      C         F        Am          FI'm everywhere now, the way is a vow
        C          G           AmTo the wind of each breath by and by


    C        G           C         FThe water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            AmThe water can't drown me, I'm done
        F     CWith my dyy...ing
