♫ Intro:

D G D G

♫ Verse 1:
     D                    G
This city's not home, tho it knows me well
     D                    G
It's cradled me close for some time
    D                      Bm            (A)
But when I'm alone and the traffic stops beating
  G
I can't get the thought from my mind

♫ Pre-Chorus 1:
D               A
Am I just lost, could I be lonely
   Bm                         G
Is it just the rain we've had so much of lately
D                       Bm          (A)         Em
Or is it just that this city's been bringing me down
G    Gm
Oooh oooh

♫ Chorus 1:
D                    A
All that I want is a boat on a river
    F#m                  G
And someone to hold, and time to deliver me
D                  A                       G
Until I'm old I'll go where the current takes me

D                         A
And all that I want is to live slow and easy
    Bm               G
One day at a time is enough speed to please me
  D                   A          (D/F#)     G
A dog by the door and someone to sing me to sleep
           D      G D G
Sing me to sleep

♫ Verse 2:
    D                         G
The blue lights fly by, with their siren song
D                       G
Calls to me through the night
    D                    Bm                 (A)
The city won't sleep but I'm trying to keep hold
       G
Of the dream that stays just out of sight

♫ Pre-Chorus 2:
   D                   A
So rise with the dawn, live by the seasons
Bm                                G
Accept that things change without asking for reasons
D                     Bm          (A)      Em
Sleep like a baby, to love and be loved in return

♫ Chorus 2:
D                    A
All that I want is a boat on a river
    F#m                  G
And someone to hold, and time to deliver me
D                  A                       G
Until I'm old I'll go where the current takes me

    Bm                    A
And all that I want is a soft breeze to blow me
    D                    G
The sky up above and the water below me
   Bm                  A         (D/F#)     G
To find a horizon, and fade into nothing at all

♫ Bridge:
Bm           A
Drifting    Drifting
G
On and on
Bm           A
Drifting    Drifting
G
On and on

♫ Outro:  (Single Strums)
D                         A
And all that I want is to live slow and easy
    Bm               G
One day at a time is enough speed to please me
  D                   A          (D/F#)     G
A dog by the door and someone to sing me to sleep
