Tom: D

               D                            Bm
Stare at a picture but there's nothing for it
                G                 A                D
I pull on the bottle and watch this river roll on by

                   D                      Bm
Trying to find purpose trying to see meaning
                    G                   A                  D    
Trying to make sense of the nonsense that I've called my life


                   D                      A
Cause only this river can bear me to safety
            Bm                  G
Only this river can bear me away
Bm G Bm G A

                 D                            Bm
See them all work and play there on the other bank
                  G              A            D
Warm in their houses while I face my cold alone

                          
                        D                         Bm
Guess I've been a drinking away to keep the wolves of my mind at bay
            G             A                   D
But if you run, you die I'm just too tired to care





                 D                      A
Cause only this river can bear me to safety
            Bm                 G
Only this river can bear me away

                 D                      A
I feel her flowing, flowing right through me
                 Bm                G
I hear her whispers drowning my words

             D               Bm
only this river only this river 
             G         A              D
 Only this river can save me from myself


               D                      A
Where did my soul go? Where did my spirit hide?
                   Bm                G
Why won't they rescue me from the pain in my mind?


                  D                   A
Cause only this river In all of her glory
            Bm                 G
Only this river can bare me away
            D              Bm                 D            Bm D Bm D
Only this river Only this river  Only this river...
