🎸 Verse 1:
Em         D            G        C
  How many times have I had this dream
Em            D       G     C
That wakes me from my slumber?
Em         D           G      C
How will I ever get to sleep again
Em                  D       G    C
Counting sheep in a Book of Numbers?
Em         D            G        C
  How many times have I had this dream
     Em            D        G          C
With you walking towards me from the river?
Em                D           G       C
  And when will I ever get to rest again
Em             D         G    C
  Wondering if I can deliver?

🎸 Chorus: 
Am                   D
This is the sound of rushing water
Am                  D

Am                   D
This is the sound of God's own daughter
Am               D
Calling out your name


🎸 Verse 2:
Em          D        G    C
This is the sound of atmospheres
Em           D         G   C
Three metric tonnes of pressure
Em          D      G     C
This is the sum of all my fears
Em          D          G  C
Something I just can't measure
Em             D        G   C
I remеmber the story of Jonah
       Em             D          G     C
He was trappеd in the belly of a whale
Em       D          G     C
How many times must he succeed?
Em       D          G      C
How many times must he fail?

Calling out your name


🎸 Verse 3:
G            C            D         Em
 I'll see my shrink on an analyst's couch
G             C          D          Em
Hit me with a hammer and I'll say, "Ouch"
G            C          D       Em
What we have here is so easy to solve
G            C                D      Em
Just takes a firm purpose and some resolve
