Chords for Waterfalls (TLC Cover by Danielle Ate the Sandwich)

_ _ _ _ _ Lonely [Bm] mother staring out of a window [D] _ [F] Looking at a son that [C] she just can't touch
_ _ [D] If at [G] any time he's in [B] a jam [D] she'll be by [G] his side
But [Am] he [F] doesn't _ realize he hurts her [C] so much _ _ _
[Em] And all the [G] praying at night just [D] ain't helping at all
Cause [F] he can't seem to keep himself [C] out of _ trouble _ _
So he [G] goes out and makes his money the [D] best way he knows how _
[F] Another body laying cold [C] in the water
Listen to me, [G] _ _ don't go _ chasing [D] _ _ waterfalls
Please stick to [F] the river and the lakes that [C] you use
_ _ I know that [G] you're gonna have it your way, oh [D] nothing at all
But I [F] think you're moving too _ fast
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ Little precious has [D] a natural _ obsession [F] or temptation but he just [C] can't see _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ She gives him loving [D] that his body can't handle
[F] All that she can say is, baby [C] it's good to me
One _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ day he goes and [D] takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he [F] don't even _ recognize his [C] own face
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
His health is failing [D] and he doesn't know why
Three [F] letters took him to his [C] final resting place
Y'all don't hear [G] me, _ don't go chasing _ [D] _ _
waterfalls
Please stick [G] to [F] the river and the lakes [C] that you use
_ I know [G] that you're gonna have it your way, [D] oh nothing at all
But I [F] think you're moving too _ fast
[C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] I seen a rainbow yesterday but too [D] many storm have come and gone
Leaving a trace in that one god [F]-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of [C] gray?
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praising for the sunny [G] days
And like his promise is true, only my faith [D] can undo
The many chances I blew to bring my [F] life to a new clear blue
And unconditional skies [C] wipe the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries
[G] My only bleeding hope is for the folk who can't cope with [D] such an undaunted pain
That it keeps them in the pouring [F] rain
Who's to blame for shooting Cain [C] into your own vein?
What a shame you're shooting names in someone else's [G] brain
You claim the insane in name to stay in time for [D] fall and pray to Crane
I say the system got you [C] victim to your [F] own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations and [C] hopes are coming true
Believe in yourself, the rest is up [G] to me and you
Don't go _ chasing [D] _ _ _
waterfalls
Please stick to [F] the _ _ _ lakes [C] that you're used to
I know [G] that you're gonna have it your way, you're [Bm] nothing at all
But [F] I think you're moving too _ _ _ [C] fast _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Don't go _ chasing _ [D] _
waterfalls
_ Please [Cm] stick to [F] the rivers and the lakes that [C] you're used _ to
I know [G] that you're gonna have it your way, [D] you're nothing at all
But I [F] think you're moving too fast
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Don't go _ _ [D] chasing _ _ waterfalls
Please stick [F] to the rivers and the [C] lakes that you're used to
I know [G] that you're gonna have it your [D] way, you're nothing [Bm] at all
But [F] I think you're moving too fast
_ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] Y'all don't hear me _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
