Chords with lyrics

Intro:
C majorC (x4)

Chorus:
C majorC
Speed river at my feet running low and flat
   A minorAm
I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking about the past
     FF                      C majorC
and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky
    G+G                     FF
The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down
 G+G              FF          C majorC
John's at my side but he's sitting on firmer ground

Verse:
 C majorC
John says I look at the moon and the stars
 A minorAm
these days more often than I look into his eyes
    FF               C majorC
and I cant disagree so I dont say nothing
    G+G                FF
I just stare on past his face at Venus rising
    G+G        FF           C majorC
like a shiney speck of hope hanging over the horizion

 C majorC
With each passing year that I sit here
   A minorAm
that horizion seems to inch just that much nearer
   FF                    C majorC
and all that appears on it seems as clear as spit
    G+G
But if there's one thing in my life
           FF
that these years have taught it's
       G+G       FF
that you can always see it coming
            C majorC
but you can never stop it

Chorus:
C majorC
Speed river at my feet running low and flat
   A minorAm
I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking about the past
     FF                      C majorC
and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky
    G+G                     FF
The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down
 G+G              FF          C majorC
John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning
    G+G                     FF
The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down
 G+G              FF          C majorC
John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning
