Verse 1:
D/F#     E7    G        D/F#
I knew a girl, her only lust
D/F#         E7        G         D/F#
Is to find a man, that she could trust
D/F#               E7   G               D/F#
And when she found him, she thanked the Lord
        D/F#          E7               G
Now she lies awake at night, scared to death she's gettin bored


Pre-Chorus:
       D/F#          Dadd#11      Dadd11  D/F#
If you look down the road, you'll see the sun
       D/F#               Dadd#11            Dadd11           D/F#
And it makes time, as you take time, just to end where you've begun


Chorus:
         D/F#         E    G   D/F#
I've got peace like a river
D/F#         E    G   D/F#
Peace like a river
D/F#     E  G  D/F#
I've got time
  D/F#         E           G           D/F#
I don't need a thing, that ain't in my mind

D/F#  E7  G  D/F#  (2X)

Verse 2:
D/F#     E7       G    D/F#
I knew a man, his only wish
   D/F#         E7          G            D/F#
Is to answer to no one, and drink like a fish
D/F#           E7           G      D/F#
He worked real hard, and he got it all
D/F#                E7         G
There was plenty to drink, and no one to call


Pre-Chorus:
       D/F#          Dadd#11      Dadd11  D/F#
If you look down the road, you'll see the sun
       D/F#               Dadd#11            Dadd11           D/F#
And it makes time, as you take time, just to end where you've begun

I don't need a thing, that ain't already mine


[Interlude]
Bm                      G
I knew a girl, her only sorrow

Was all her life she was waiting for tomorrow

I knew a man, who wanted life so bad
D/F#                       E7         G
He blew his mind up in the sky, never came back to land
