This River

	  		               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 bare 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 bare me to safety 
            Bm                 G 
Only this river can bare me away 

                 D                      A 
I feel her flowing, flowing right through me 
                 Bm                G 
I hear her whispers drowning my words

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

Only this river can bare me away
