C          G         F
All that I have is a river
    Am                E
The river is always my home
      C         F        Am          F
Lord, take me away for I just cannot stay
        C          G           Am
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones


    C        G           C         F
The water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F     C
With my dyy...ing

C          G         F
Please help me build a small boat
    Am                E
One that'll ride on the flow
      C         F        Am          F
Where the river runs deep, and the larger fish creep
        C          G           Am
I'm glad of what keeps me afloat


    C        G           C         F
The water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F     C
With my dyy...ing

C          G         F
Now deeper the water I sail
    Am                E
And faster the current I'm in
      C         F        Am          F
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
        C          G           Am
The artist has run out of paint


    C        G           C         F
The water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F     C
With my dyy...ing

C          G         F
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
    Am                E
And the big yellow sun leads me home
      C         F        Am          F
I'm everywhere now, the way is a vow
        C          G           Am
To the wind of each breath by and by


    C        G           C         F
The water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            Am
The water can't drown me, I'm done
        F     C
With my dyy...ing
