Intro:
C G C F
C G Am F


Verse:
 C         G             FAll that I have is a river
     Am                 EThe river is always my home
      C         F        Am           FLord, take me away for I just cannot stay
        C          G           AmOr I'll sink in my skin and my bones


Chorus:
    C        G           C         FThe water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            AmThe water can't drown me, I'm done
        F      CWith my dyy...ing


 C         G             FPlease help me build a small boat
     Am                 EOne that’ll ride on the flow
       C            FWhere the river runs deep
       Am           FAnd the larger fish creep
    C          G           AmI’m glad of what keeps me afloat

    C        G           C         FThe water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            AmThe water can't drown me, I'm done
        F      CWith my dyy...ing

     C         G       FNow deeper the water I sail
     Am                    EAnd faster the current I’m in
      C           FThat each night brings the stars
        Am           FAnd the song in my heart
      C             G           AmIs a tune for the journeyman’s tale

    C        G           C         FThe water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            AmThe water can't drown me, I'm done
        F      CWith my dyy...ing

Bridge:
 E                            AmNow the land that I knew is a dream
 E                                  AmAnd the line on the distance grows faint
    C          F          C         FSo wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
     C          F          Am      FThe artist has run out of paint

           C           G             FWhere the blue of the sea meets the sky
        Am                       EAnd the big yellow sun leads me home
    C          FI’m everywhere now
    Am        FThe way is a vow
       C            G             AmTo the wind of each breath by and by

    C        G           C         FThe water sustains me without even trying
    C            G            AmThe water can't drown me, I'm done
        F      CWith my dyy...ing
