[Verse]
   D
Shadow let go
D
There's something you should know
D
I just found my new direction
D
And I hope you like the key
         G
Like the air that led me to it
          C   
She's the wind that sucked me through it
        D
She's a river and she's turning there in front of me
      D
Stand back - get back
D
She'll paint your blue skies black
D
She gives bullet proof protection
D
She got a resurrection feel
         G
When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose
             C
She gives me travelling shoes
        D
She's a river and she's turning there in front of me


[Chorus]
         Em
And I go blind
           G
Wasting my time
                             D  C
While the rivers in front of me
G                          D C G
That's where I'm goin' to be


[Verse]
      D
Shine on, get on
D
Twilight from dusk to dawn
D
She's the spirit of creation
D
She's the last chance guarantee
      G
Got a myriad of poses
       C
Sweet miracles and roses
        D
She's a river and she's turning in front of me


[Chorus]
         Em
And I go blind
           G
Wasting my time
                             D  C
While the rivers in front of me
G                          D C G
That's where I'm goin' to be

D G D


[Chorus]
              Em
'Cause when I find
            G
My state of mind
                        D
The river's in front of me


[Bridge]
D
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
D
So take me on that freedom ride
D
My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon
D
My nerves just feel electrified
G
Meet me on the staircase
G
Outside a darkened room
G
Light me like a naked flame
D
The voice of Mother Nature states
D
All things must pass
D
And nothing can remain
Em
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
G                             D C G
So take me on that freedom ride

D
You raise me like a building to the very top
C                     G
Rush me to the end of time
D
You fill me full of danger
D
You give me future shock
C                        G
Then you leave me wasted dying


D G D 


[Chorus]
         Em
And I go blind
           G
Wasting my time
                        D
The river's in front of me
