[Intro]
Am Cmaj7
Oh...
Dm7 G7
Mmm...
[Verse]
Am
What I love most about rivers is
Cmaj7
You can't step in the same river twice
Dm G7
The water's always changing, always flowing
Am
But people, I guess, can't live like that
Cmaj7
We all must pay a price
Dm G7
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
What's around the riverbend
Dm G
Waiting just around the riverbend
[Chorus]
F G
I look once more
Cmaj7
Just around the riverbend
Fmaj7
Beyond the shore
Am
Where the gulls fly free
F G
I don't know what for
Cmaj7
What I dream the day might send
Dm7 G7
Just around the riverbend
Am Cmaj7
For me (for me), for me (for me)
Dm7 G7
Coming for me (for me), for me (for me)
[Verse]
Am
I feel it there beyond those trees
Cmaj7
Or right behind these waterfalls
Dm G7
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming?
Am
For a handsome, sturdy husband
Cmaj7
Who builds handsome, sturdy walls
Dm G7
And never dreams that something might be coming?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
Just around the riverbend
Dm G
Waiting just around the riverbend
[Chorus]
F G
I look once more
Cmaj7
Just around the riverbend
Fmaj7
Beyond the shore
Am
Somewhere past the sea
Fmaj7
I don't know what for
Cmaj7
Why do all my dreams extend
Dm7 G7
Just around the riverbend?
[Bridge]
Am
Should I choose the smoothest course
Cmaj7
Steady as a beating drum?
Dm G
Should I, should I, should I marry on?
(So, am I dreaming at an end?)
Am
Oh, do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?
Cmaj7
Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver?
Dm G
Do you still wait for me, Dream Giver? x6
[Chorus-End]
F G
I look once more
Cmaj7
Just around the riverbend
Fmaj7
Beyond the shore
Am
Somewhere past the sea
F Fm (optional hold for effect)
I don't know what for
C(maj7)
Why do all my dreams extend
Dm G7
Just around the riverbend?
Am Cmaj7
For me (for me), for me (for me)
Dm7 G7
Coming for me (for me), for me (for me)
[Outro]
Am Cmaj7
Dm7 G7
