Intro: 

Verse: 
           Fm 
My well is dry 

My words hollow 
     Db   Ab            Eb 
Promises brittle as my bones 
           Fm 
You'll get nothing from me 
                 Db            Ab 
You're squeezing water from a stone 
         C                       Fm 
And I'm fool enough to be this alone 

                       Ab 
Ain't you supposed to bend? 
Fm                                 Db            Ab 
Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind? 
                   Db       Ab    Fm    Fm 
Ain't it easier to be-e-e-eeeeeee-end? 

Verse: 
Fm 
I am the one who stayed behind 
           Db Ab 
My will is i--ron 
   Eb 
I know 
        Fm 
That I haven't learned a thing 
          Db                 Ab 
From the trouble it's got me in 
         C                             Fm 
And my troubles are just starting to begin 

                       Ab 
Ain't you supposed to bend? 
Fm                                 Db            Ab 
Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind? 
                   Db       Ab 
Ain't it easier to be-e-e-eeeeend?

Verse: 
         Fm 
You run deep in me 
        Db           Ab            Eb 
Like a place where a river used to be 
       Fm            Db        Ab 
And I know it was a long time ago 
         C                               Fm 
But now all that's left is sediment and stone 

                       Ab 
Ain't you supposed to bend? 
Fm                                 Db            Ab 
Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind? 
                   Db       Ab 
Ain't it easier to be-e-e-eeeeend? 

OUTRO: 
          Bbm Ab                 Db 
You are a dia-mond and I'm just coal 
             Bbm Ab                Db 
If you are a riv-er then I'm just stone 
        Bbm  Ab                Db  Bbm 
You are fle--esh and I'm just bone 
           Bbm      C                Fm 
You are a churning river shaping my stone 
            Bbm     Ab 
You are the spring thaw 
Db 
You are the flow of the river 
        Bbm  Ab 
You are end-less 
              Db 
And I'm just sto-o-o-o-one 
            Bbm   C 
You are the river 
                    F 
I'm just the stone
