I Know Why the River Runs

Written by Julie Miller

	  		D  Em  G  A      D  Em  G  A 
 
               D            Em           G         A           D   Em   G   A 
When I reach to hold you, I'll still be alone 
                D              Em       G         A            D   Em   G   A 
When I hear the ringin of the telephone 
  Em             G 
I'll think it is you 
  Em             G     A 
It will not be true 
 
 Bm       G        D          A 
I know why the river runs 
  Bm       G        D          A 
To a place somewhere far away 
  Bm       G        D          A  
I know why the sky is cryin 
  Bm       G        D          A                Bm   G    D     A     Bm   G   
  D    A 
When there aren't any words to say 
 
 
                D            Em           G         A           D   Em   G    
A       
I could play the message that you left for me 
               D            Em           G         A           D   Em   G   A 
I can hear your voice and I could still believe 
  Em                            G 
That you will soon me home 
  Em                        G    A 
But you will never come 
 
 
  Bm       G        D          A 
I know why the river runs 
  Bm       G        D          A 
To a place somewhere far away 
  Bm       G        D          A 
I know why the sky is cryin 
  Bm       G        D          A                Bm       G        D          A 
When there aren't any words to say 
 
 
   Bm                                   G 
There's a silence that I don't want to hear 
   Bm                               A 
There's a hole now where my heart used to be 
   G                                        Bm 
They say that healing comes in time 
                    A                      G            Bm   G   D   A   (x4) 
But I don't know what that means 
 
  Em                   G 
I lie here for so long 
  Em                   G         A 
But you will never come 
 
 
 Bm       G        D          A 
I know why the river runs 
 Bm       G        D          A 
To a place somewhere far away 
 Bm       G        D          A 
I know why the sky is cryin 
 Bm       G        D          A 
When there aren't any words to say 
 Bm       G        D          A 
I know why the river runs 
 Bm       G        D          A 
To a place somewhere far away 
 Bm       G        D          A 
I know why the sky is cryin 
 Bm       G        D          A                     Bm    G     D      A    
(repeat and fade) 
When there aren't any words to say
