Gently We Row chords by Melissa Etheridge

Chords with lyrics

C majorC       G+G    A minorAm C majorC
When my soul crashed into my body
 FF     C majorC      G+G
Falling into consciousness
 FF       C majorC   DmDm     C majorC
That's when my mind began this illusion
  FF     C majorC     G+G
Of taking it step after step

A minorAm     G+G     FF   C majorC
I looked into mother's eyes
    A minorAm     FF      G+G
I said tell me what I should believe
   FF    C majorC      DmDm   C majorC
She drew me a room with a light
   FF      G+G       C majorC
Said just turn it off when you leave

 C majorC   G+G      A minorAm   C majorC
Slow, slow, this river is slow
 FF       C majorC     G+G
We're all out here on our own
 A minorAm  G+G  C majorC     FF
Row, row, gently we row
FF       G+G      C majorC
One day we'll find our way home

 C majorC     G+G     A minorAm    C majorC
Step after step they drew me a town
    FF    C majorC     G+G
They drew me a fear and a need
    FF    C majorC       DmDm     C majorC
They drew me a god, and they drew me some money
 FF      C majorC       G+G
Hiding the truth far from me

A minorAm      G+G     FF   C majorC
I asked the cool fire light
 A minorAm      FF      G+G
Tell me, what I should believe, they
 FF     C majorC      DmDm    C majorC
Gave me a song and they gave me a dance, and said
 FF       G+G      C majorC
Sleep now your pain will relieve

 C majorC   G+G      A minorAm   C majorC
Slow, slow, this river is slow
 FF       C majorC     G+G
We're all out here on our own
 A minorAm  G+G  C majorC     FF
Row, row, gently we row
FF       G+G      C majorC
One day we'll find our way home

    A minorAm      E minorEm     FF        C majorC
I've stumbled and crawled I've begged to know why
A minorAm        E minorEm        FF      G+G
And I've been a-shamed when I've chosen to lie
  A minorAm      E minorEm       FF       C majorC
In all of this darkness I have searched for a light
  DmDm      DmDm
To come and find me
   G+G      G+G
And when I found me

  C majorC        G+G      A minorAm    C majorC
I wrapped my arms round my own daughter
   FF      C majorC       G+G
As she fell into her place and time
FF      C majorC    DmDm    C majorC
And as her mind creates her illusions
  FF      C majorC       G+G
I won't complicate hers with mine

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

 C majorC   G+G      A minorAm   C majorC
Slow, slow, this river is slow
FF          C majorC      G+G
And you're never out here on our own
 A minorAm  G+G  C majorC     FF
Row, row, gently we row
FF          G+G
And together we'll find our way.

 C majorC   G+G     A minorAm    C majorC
Slow, slow, this river is slow
 FF    C majorC      G+G
Life is not what it seems
 A minorAm  G+G  C majorC     FF
Row, row, gently we row

The truth is

It's only a dream
