I stare at a picture, but there's nothing [Bm] for it.
I pull on [G] the bottle and watch this [A] river roll [D] on by.
Trying to find purpose, trying to [Bm] see meaning,
trying to make [G] sense of the [A] nonsense that I've called [D] my life.
But only this river can bind me [A] to safety.
Only [Bm] this river can bind me [G] away.
See [Bm]
[G] [G]
[A]
[D] them all work in place, they're on [Bm] the other bank,
warming [G] their houses while I [A] face my [D] cold alone.
I guess I've been drinking away, keep the wolves of [Bm] my mind at bay.
Cause [G] if you run, [A] you die, I'm just too [D] tired to care.
Cause only this river can bind me [A] to safety.
Only [Bm] this river can bind me [G] away.
I feel [D] a flower flowing [A] right through me.
I hear [Bm] her whisper, drown in my [G] words.
Cause only [D] this river, only [Bm] this river, only [G] this river can save me.
For [D] myself, where did my soul go?
Where did my [A] spirit hide?
Why [Bm] won't the voice speak from the pain in [G] my life?
Cause only [D] this river, in all of its [A] glory, only [Bm] this river can bind [G] me away.
Only [D] this river, only [Bm] this river, only [D] this river.
[Bm] No way.
