[B] [E] [B] [A]
[B] [G#m]
[F#]
[D]
[A] Moving down the water, [B] [G#m] John is drifting out of sight
[F#] It's only at the turning point [D] that you find out how you fight
[A] In the cold, feel the cold [B] all [G#m] around
And [F#] the rush of crashing water [C#m] [D] surrounds you with its sound
[A] Striking out to reach you
[B] [G#m] I conk it through to the other [F#] side
When you're racing in the rapids, [G#m] there's [D] only one way
That's to ride, [A] taken down, taken down by [G#m] the undertow
I'm [F#] spiraled down the [C#m] riverbed
[D] My fire is burning low
[A] Catching hold of a rod that's [B] firm
[G#m] I'm waiting for John to be carried past
[F#] We hold together, hold [C#m] together
[D] And shoot the rapids fast
[A] And when the water's [G#m] slowed down
The dog and the deer
[F#m] Have no one, no one, no [C#m] one, no one, [D] no one left to kill
[A] And we [B] [G#m] ride out this sadness
[C#] Something's changed, that's not your face
[D] It's mine, it's mine
