[Verse]

 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           F
Or I'll sink in my skin and my bones

[Chorus]

    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

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

    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

[Verse]

     C         G       F
Now deeper the water I sail
     Am                    E
And faster the current I'm in
      C           F
That each night brings the stars
        Am           F
And the song in my heart
      C             G           F
Is a tune for the journeyman's tale

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

 E                            Am
land that I knew is a dream
 E                                  Am
And the line on the distance grows faint
    C          Dm          C         Dm
So wide is my river, the horizon a sliver
     C          G          Am      F
The artist has run out of paint...

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

    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
