Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Key: C

Intro:
C F C F


Verse 1:
C                  F          C
Love is clumsy, it falls like rain
C             G                   C
It brings you flowers then storms away
C                           F             C
When we were younger we ran like the wild wind
C          G                         C
But now we only run out of things to say

Chorus:
C      F              G
I'm no longer made of water
G           C               G          F
'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust
F                     G
God I wish I were the river
G           C           G      F    G C F C
Because the river knows how to run


Verse 2:
C
Damn this place and the way we settled
C           G                  C
We sold our dreams for cheaper stuff
C
The rivers cut through rocks and canyons
C           G                  C
But you and I we, we just gave up


Chorus:
C      F              G
I'm no longer made of water
G           C               G          F
'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust
F                     G
God I wish I were the river
G           C           G      F    G  C
Because the river knows how to run


Bridge:
F                  G
Run for the hills, run for my life
Am                Dm
Go with the flow, out with the tide
F   G
Run
F                     G
Holy water wash these sins away
Am                         Dm
I hear the wild callin' my name
F  G
Run
F  G
Run
C
Scatter my ashes in the white rapids
C        G                      C
And I'll return to where I come from


Chorus:
C      F              G
I'm no longer made of water
G           C               G          F
'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust
F                     G
God I wish I were the river
G           C           G      F    G  C
Because the river knows how to run


C      F              G
I'm no longer made of water
G           C               G          F
'Cause I've cried until I'm dry as the dust
F                     G
God I wish I were the river
G           C           G      F    G  C
Because the river knows how to run

F                     G
God I wish I were the river
G           C           G      F
Because the river knows how to run
