Stones In The River chords by Carrie Newcomer

Intro:
G

Verse:
          F            G               F          C
There's a crack in the glass where the water gets out
          F     G             Am
There's a dusty wind when the heart's in drought
        F          G              F
And the map of the world looks as if true north
              G   Am
Disappeared entirely

Verse:
F     G      F       C
I can live divided or bent
   F        G        Am
Conspire in my own diminishment
     F            G      F
Or believe in the better world I've dreamt
                G      C
That grows from inside out

Chorus:
     G              F               C
So today, I'll drop stones into the river
        G                  F           C
And the current takes them out into forever
        G                 F             Am
And the truth is, most of us will never know
Am
Where our best intentions go
               C            G
And still I'll drop another stone

Verse:
F     G          F      C
So we trust in a dim flashlight
    F      G          Am
And always walk into available light
    F     G       F
I'm not a woman inclined to bet
               G         C
But it's never failed me yet

Chorus:
     G              F               C
So today, I'll drop stones into the river
        G                  F           C
And the current takes them out into forever
        G                 F             Am
And the truth is, most of us will never know
Am
Where our best intentions go
               C            G
And still I'll drop another stone

Instrumental:
F G F C    F G Am
F G F     G   C

Chorus:
     G               F               C
So today, we'll drop stones into the river
        G                  F           C
And the current takes them out into forever
        G                 F             Am
And the truth is, most of us will never know
Am
Where our best intentions go
                C            G
And still we'll drop another stone

Verse:
    F     G          F      C
The empty self still hears a call
   F           G             Am
To live in the centre of the ache and awe
     F         G           F
It's there the hope of the whole world shines
               G        C
And yes, there still is time

Chorus:
     G              F               C
So today, I'll drop stones into the river
        G                  F           C
And the current takes them out into forever
        G                 F             Am
And the truth is, most of us will never know
Am
Where our best intentions go
               C            G
And still I'll drop another stone
