[Verse 1]

   G5G5  (D5D5)    G5G5   (D5D5)
Last night I went out walking
  G5G5   (D5D5)   D5D5  (A5A5)
out on the edge of town,
  D5D5  (A5A5)    D5D5  (A5A5)
not going no place special,
D5D5   A5A5    G5G5  (D5D5)
only wandering around.

[Verse 2]

  G5G5 (D5D5)  G5G5  (D5D5)
I came upon a river.
  G5G5     (D5D5)   D5D5 (A5A5)
I thought about what you said
   D5D5   (A5A5)   D5D5   (A5A5)
and couldn't stop it flowing
  D5D5    A5A5    G5G5  (D5D5)
and running through my head.


[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

   G5G5   (D5D5)    G5G5   (D5D5)
You said that I'd been changing
   G5G5  (D5D5)    D5D5  (A5A5)
and never seemed to laugh,
    D5D5  (A5A5)      D5D5    (A5A5)
but I can't recall the last time you smiled
     D5D5   A5A5   G5G5  (D5D5)
and it's tearing me in half.

[Verse 4]

 G5G5   (D5D5)   G5G5    (D5D5)
I want to run and tell you
   G5G5       (D5D5)  D5D5  (A5A5)
the thoughts that are in my head,
  D5D5   (A5A5)    D5D5   (A5A5)
but I don't think that you'd believe
  D5D5   A5A5   G5G5  (D5D5)
a single word I said.


[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]

   G5G5   (D5D5)  G5G5   (D5D5)
The river's water runs so cool
  G5G5   (D5D5)   D5D5 (A5A5)
it calms my burning skin.
  D5D5   (A5A5)  D5D5   (A5A5)
It takes away my aching thoughts
   D5D5   A5A5   G5G5  (D5D5)
and cleanses all my sin.


[Instrumental]

G5G5 (D5D5)


[Verse 6]

  G5G5  (D5D5)   G5G5   (D5D5)
So let it flow on, take me down,
   G5G5    (D5D5)  D5D5  (A5A5)
to sleep that quiet sleep.
  D5D5   (A5A5)  D5D5  (A5A5)
And roll my body back to you
  D5D5     A5A5   G5G5 (D5D5)
my love you may always keep.


[Outro]

G5G5 (D5D5) G5G5
