Carrie Newcomer – Stones In The River chords

[Intro]

G

 

[Verse]

          F            G               F          C

There's a crack in the glass where the water gets out

          F     G             Am

There's a dusty wind when the heart's in drought

        F          G              F

And the map of the world looks as if true north

              G   Am

Disappeared entirely

 

[Verse]

F     G      F       C

I can live divided or bent

   F        G        Am

Conspire in my own diminishment

     F            G      F

Or believe in the better world I've dreamt

                G      C

That grows from inside out

 

[Chorus]

     G              F               C

So today, I'll drop stones into the river

        G                  F           C

And the current takes them out into forever

        G                 F             Am

And the truth is, most of us will never know

Am

Where our best intentions go

               C            G

And still I'll drop another stone

 

[Verse]

F     G          F      C

So we trust in a dim flashlight

    F      G          Am

And always walk into available light

    F     G       F

I'm not a woman inclined to bet

               G         C

But it's never failed me yet

 

[Chorus]

     G              F               C

So today, I'll drop stones into the river

        G                  F           C

And the current takes them out into forever

        G                 F             Am

And the truth is, most of us will never know

Am

Where our best intentions go

               C            G

And still I'll drop another stone

 

[Instrumental]

F G F C    F G Am

F G F     G   C

 

[Chorus]

     G               F               C

So today, we'll drop stones into the river

        G                  F           C

And the current takes them out into forever

        G                 F             Am

And the truth is, most of us will never know

Am

Where our best intentions go

                C            G

And still we'll drop another stone

 

[Verse]

    F     G          F      C

The empty self still hears a call

   F           G             Am

To live in the centre of the ache and awe

     F         G           F

It's there the hope of the whole world shines

               G        C

And yes, there still is time

 

[Chorus]

     G              F               C

So today, I'll drop stones into the river

        G                  F           C

And the current takes them out into forever

        G                 F             Am

And the truth is, most of us will never know

Am

Where our best intentions go

               C            G

And still I'll drop another stone
