Gently We Row

      C              G        Am  C
When my soul crashed into my body
 F         C           G
Falling into consciousness
  F             C      Dm         C
That's when my mind began this illusion
    F          C          G
Of taking it step after step

Am          G          F     C
I looked into mother's eyes
        Am          F            G
I said tell me what I should believe
      F        C           Dm     C
She drew me a room with a light
      F           G             C
Said just turn it off when you leave

  C     G           Am      C
Slow, slow, this river is slow
 F             C          G
We're all out here on our own
 Am   G    C         F
Row, row, gently we row
F              G            C
One day we'll find our way home

  C          G         Am       C
Step after step they drew me a town
       F        C          G
They drew me a fear and a need
       F        C              Dm          C
They drew me a god, and they drew me some money
 F           C             G
Hiding the truth far from me

Am           G         F     C
I asked the cool fire light
 Am           F           G
Tell me, what I should believe,  they
 F          C            Dm        C
Gave me a song and they gave me a dance, and said
  F             G           C
Sleep now your pain will relieve

  C     G           Am      C
Slow, slow, this river is slow
 F             C          G
We're all out here on our own
 Am   G    C         F
Row, row, gently we row
F              G            C
One day we'll find our way home

       Am           Em          F               C
I've stumbled and crawled I've begged to know why
Am                Em               F           G
And I've been a-shamed when I've chosen to lie
   Am           Em              F              C
In all of this darkness I have searched for a light
    Dm            Dm
To come and find me
      G           G
And when I found me

   C               G            Am       C
I wrapped my arms round my own daughter
     F            C             G
As she fell into her place and time
F           C        Dm        C
And as her mind creates her illusions
   F           C              G
I won't complicate hers with mine

Am            G      F             C
She looked into her mother's eyes
          Am          F            G
She said tell me what I should believe
     F            C           Dm            C
And I drew her a door and I drew her a key
    F                   C            Dm            C
And I said when you're ready you'll come and find me
           F           C         Dm           C
And we'll walk out of here and tomorrow will be a new
G   G  F
Dayyyyyyyyyyy

  C     G           Am      C
Slow, slow, this river is slow
F                    C            G
And you're never out here on our own
 Am   G    C         F
Row, row, gently we row
F                   G
And together we'll find our way.

  C     G          Am       C
Slow, slow, this river is slow
 F       C           G
Life is not what it seems
 Am   G    C         F
Row, row, gently we row

The truth is

It's only a dream
