CGF All that I have is a river AmE The river is always my home CF Lord, take me away CF For I just cannot stay CGF Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones
Chorus
CGAmF The water sustains me without even trying CGAm The water can't drown me, I'm done FC With my dying
Verse 2
CGF Please help me build a small boat AmE One that'll ride on the flow CF Where the river runs deep CF And the larger fish creep CGF I'm glad of what keeps me afloat
Chorus
CGAmF The water sustains me without even trying CGAm The water can’t drown me, I’m done FC With my dying
Verse 3
CGF Now deeper the water I sail AmE And faster the current I'm in CF But each night brings the stars CF And the song in my heart CGF Is a tune for the Journeyman's tale
Chorus
CGAmF The water sustains me without even trying CGAm The water can’t drown me, I'm done Am With my dying
Bridge
EmF Now the land that I knew is a dream EmF And the light in the distance grows faint CF So wide is my river CF The horizon a sliver CGAmF The artist has run out of pain
Verse 4
CGF Where the blue of the sea meets the sky AmE And the big yellow sun leads me home CF I'm everywhere now CF The way is a vow CGF To the wind of each breath by and by
Chorus
CGAmF The water sustains me without even trying CGAm The water can't drown me, I'm done FC With my dying.
