The River

Bm                 Em
Yet another morning
                   Bm
That feels like this
            Em              Bm
Yet another life's bitter kiss

A                         G
It has been like this for I don't know how long
A                        G
I only know that at some point
A
It all went wrong

Bm               Em                 Bm
I don't remember much from last night
              Em                D    A
But still far more than I would like to

G                                   A
I'm floating downstream that damned river again

Bm         A        G          Em
What can I do now except continue
    D      A           G
And open a bottle once more
Bm         A        G              Em
What can I do now except see this through
    D               A              G
And float with the stream, off the shore
              Em
See where the river will take me

Bm            Em               Bm
When I needed you, you weren't there
Bm         Em                    D          A
Now I need booze like I need the air that I breathe

C                            G
With each drink I'm drifting further away from your world
C                         Em        D          C
The further off I get the harder it will be to return

Bm Em

A                         G
It has been like this for I don't know how long
A                        G
I only know that at some point
A
It all went wrong

G                               A
Floating downstream that damned river again
G                               A
The river that's distilled from premium grain

Bm         A      G           Em
What can I do now except continue
    D      A           G
And open a bottle once more
Bm         A       G               Em
What can I do now except see this through
     D              A               G
And float with the stream, off the shore

              Em                G
See where the river will take me
              Em
See where the river will take me
