[Bbm] [Eb] [Bb]
Rolling river [Gm] gone, [G]
little stones are smooth Only [C] [Bb] once the water [F] passes through
[Bb] [A] [Gm] [Bb]
So I [Gm] am a [G] stone, [F]
[Gm] rough and [C] grainy still [G]
[Eb] Trying [C] to [F]
reconcile this [Eb] river's chill
But when I close my [Bb] eyes and [Eb] feel you rushing
[Bb] by
I know that [Ab] time brings [G] change and [Cm] change takes [F] time
And [Eb] when the sunset [Bb]
comes, my [Eb] prayer would [Bb]
be [Eb] this [Bb] one
That you [Cm] might pick me up [Bb] and notice [Eb] that I am
[F] Just a [Ebm] little smoother in your [Bb] hand
[A] Sometimes [Am] raging
[Gm] wild, [G]
sometimes [Bb] swollen high [C] [Gm] [Eb]
Never [Bb] have I known [F] this river dry
[C] The [Bb]
deepest [Dm] part of [Gm] you is where I [G] want to stay [Cm] And
[Gm] feel the [F] sharpest edges wash away
[Bb] And when [Eb] I close [F] my
[Bb] eyes and feel [Eb] you [Fm] rushing [Bb]
by
I know that [C] [Ab] time brings [G] change [Cm] and change takes [F] time
And [Eb] when the sunset [F] [Bb] comes, my [Eb] prayer would be this [Bb]
one
That you [Cm]
might pick me [Bb] up and notice [Eb] that I am
[C] [Cm]
