B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
I've been watching the man at the bar
With his head in his hands
A augmentedA B minorBm E minorEm
And I think to myself, I was just like you
B minorBm G+G
I can see there are times in your life
A augmentedA
When it's way too much for you
B minorBm E minorEm
The battles you wear, or the armor you choose
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
When I first fill my lungs in the morning
A augmentedA B minorBm E minorEm
I try to remember to say a quiet thank you
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And if I rise with a weight in my heart
A augmentedA B minorBm E minorEm
I like to play myself a sweet little tune
B minorBm G+G
And I feel those coooool rivers
A augmentedA B minorBm E minorEm
Washing all over me
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And I know these smoooooth rhythms
A augmentedA B minorBm E minorEm
Make me move my feet
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Oh you give me those sooooul shivers
A augmentedA B minorBm E minorEm
Taking me back to the days
B minorBm G+G
When music was a life-giver
A augmentedA B minorBm E minorEm
Make a bad man change his ways
