Waterfalls

Intro C  G Fmaj7  

 
    C                 G   
A lonely mother gazining out of the window 
         Bb                             Fmaj7  
Staring at her son that she just can't touch 
            C                           G  
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side 
                  Bb                   Fmaj7  
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much 
C                                G 
But all the praying just ain't helping at all 
              Bb                         Fmaj7  
Cuz he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble 
                   C  
So he goes out and he makes his money 
          G  
The best way he knows how 
          Bb                    Fmaj7    
Another body layin cold in the gutter 

Listen to me 

 

C                 G    
Don't go chasing waterfalls 
                       Bb  
Please stick to the rivers 
                          Fmaj7  
And the lakes that you're used to 
                    C  
I know that you're gonna have it 
              G  
Your way or nothing at all 
                    Bb             Fmaj7  
But I think you're moving too fast 



C                      G  
Little precious has a natural obsession 
         Bb                 Fmaj7  
For temptation but he just can't see 
                C  
She gives him loving that his body 
        G                    Bb  
Can't handle but all he can say 
         Fmaj7  
Is "baby is good to me" 
C                               G                
One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror 
               Bb               Fmaj7  
But he doesn't recognize his own face 
      C                       G  
His health is fading and he doesn't know why 
Bb                          Fmaj7  
3 letters took him to his final resting place
