[A]
[D]
There have been times in my life when I felt out of touch and half [G] crazy
Lost
[A] in a crowd with lovers and friends by [D] my side
There's a numbness I've known all alone in some [G] shimmering city
With
[A] bright lights around me but nothing but shadows [D] inside
There [G] have been desperate times when my [Bm] heart was so dry
that [D] I felt like my life was [G] a curse
I [D] would stand a knee deep in [A] the river and die [D] in a third
There are months at a time when no reason no rhyme can [G] sustain me
When
[A] nothing makes sense and everything turns upside [D] down
There are nights when I fight to keep dreaming from driving [G] me crazy
[A] And I shut off my mind just to keep it from spinning [D] around
And [G] it's down in that quiet in [Bm] that stillness I find
The [D] sweet waters for which I've [G] long searched
[D] I'll stand a knee deep in [A] the river and die [D] in a third
[B]
[E] So if you're having times when you feel out of touch and [A] half crazy
[B] Lost in a crowd with lovers and friends by [E] your side
If the game's getting old and you're cold and exhausted
[A] And maybe you
[B] just like to cop out and crumble or lay [E] down and die
If [A] you come to a time when you [C#m] need to decide
Friend, [E] you might want to ask [A] yourself first
Am [E] I standing knee deep in [B] the river and dying [E] in a third?
Cause [C#m] there's a great river runs from [A] the heart of the sun
[E] Through the soul of the whole [A] universe
From [C#m] the limitless light that [A] brings order and might
[E] To the substance of heaven [B] and earth
And [C#m] it's down in that quiet in [A] that stillness
Inside there's [E] a well we don't seek till [A] we hurt
[E] Stand a knee deep [B] in the river and die [E] in a third
[C#m] Yes, down in that quiet in [A] that stillness
Inside are [E] sweet waters to heal this [A] whole earth
