D
nothing is going my way.

[Melodica Riff over next verse]
G
There's no one left to take the lead, but I tell you and you can see
Dsus2
We're closer now and light years to go
G
Pick up here and chase the ride. The river empties to the tide;
Dsus2
Fall into the ocean.
Em
The river to the ocean goes, a fortune for the undertow.
D
None of this is going my way.
Em
There is nothing left to throw of ginger, lemon, indigo,
D
Coriander stem and rose of hay.
Em
Strength and courage overrides these privileged and weary eyes of
D
River poet search naivete.
Em
Pick up here and chase the ride, the river empties to the tide.
D
All of this is coming your way. Please rate for accuracy!
