Gently We Row

	  		
      C              G        Am  C 
When my soul crashed into my body 
 F         C           G 
Falling into consciousness 
  F             C      Dm         C 
That's when my mind began this illusion 
    F          C          G 
Of taking it step after step 

Am          G          F     C 
I looked into mother's eyes 
        Am          F            G 
I said tell me what I should believe 
      F        C           Dm     C 
She drew me a room with a light 
      F           G             C      
Said just turn it off when you leave 

  C     G           Am      C 
Slow, slow, this river is slow 
 F             C          G    
We're all out here on our own 
 Am   G    C         F  
Row, row, gently we row 
F              G            C    
One day we'll find our way home 

  C          G         Am       C 
Step after step they drew me a town 
       F        C          G 
They drew me a fear and a need 
       F        C              Dm          C 
They drew me a god, and they drew me some money 
 F           C             G 
Hiding the truth far from me 

Am           G         F     C 
I asked the cool fire light 
 Am           F           G 
Tell me, what I should believe,  they 
 F          C            Dm        C 
Gave me a song and they gave me a dance, and said 
  F             G           C      
Sleep now your pain will relieve 

  C     G           Am      C 
Slow, slow, this river is slow 
 F             C          G    
We're all out here on our own 
 Am   G    C         F  
Row, row, gently we row 
F              G            C    
One day we'll find our way home 

       Am           Em          F               C 
I've stumbled and crawled I've begged to know why 
Am                Em               F           G 
And I've been a-shamed when I've chosen to lie 
   Am           Em              F              C 
In all of this darkness I have searched for a light 
    Dm            Dm   
To come and find me 
      G           G 
And when I found me 

   C               G            Am       C 
I wrapped my arms round my own daughter 
     F            C             G 
As she fell into her place and time 
F           C        Dm        C 
And as her mind creates her illusions 
   F           C              G 
I won't complicate hers with mine 

Am            G      F             C 
She looked into her mother's eyes 
          Am          F            G 
She said tell me what I should believe 
     F            C           Dm            C 
And I drew her a door and I drew her a key 
    F                   C            Dm            C 
And I said when you're ready you'll come and find me 
           F           C         Dm           C        
And we'll walk out of here and tomorrow will be a new 
G   G  F  
Dayyyyyyyyyyy 

  C     G           Am      C 
Slow, slow, this river is slow 
F                    C            G 
And you're never out here on our own 
 Am   G    C         F  
Row, row, gently we row 
F                   G            
And together we'll find our way. 

  C     G          Am       C 
Slow, slow, this river is slow 
 F       C           G 
Life is not what it seems 
 Am   G    C         F  
Row, row, gently we row 
   
The truth is 
    
It's only a dream
