Lyrics

Some days I can’t say why I’m feel ing lone ly, and some days I am too proud to ask for help. And I stum ble through the noise, (Db)try ing to find some peace, a (Bbm)stran ger in the crowd, I lose my (Ebsus)self. So I walk (Fm)down to (Eb)the (Ab)riv er, where the (Db)trou bles, they can’t find me. Let the (Db)wa ters there re mind me the sun will be there when we wake. I walk (Db)down to the (Fm)riv er, though I might not un der stand it, it’s not (Db)al ways as we planned it, but we grow strong er when we break. So I walk (Fm)down to the (Ab)riv er, I walk down to the (Ab)riv er. This rag ing world can get so o ver whelm ing, (Fm)look ing for a mean ing when it (Db)won’t make sense. In my head it’s get ting loud, like I can’t out run this cloud, no (Bbm)mat ter where I go, there I am. So I walk (Fm)down to the (Ab)riv er, where the (Db)trou bles, they can’t find me. Let the (Db)wa ters there re mind me the sun will be there when we wake. I walk (Db)down to the (Fm)riv er, though I might not un der stand it, it’s not (Db)al ways as we planned it, but we grow strong er when we break. So I walk (Fm)down to the (Ab)riv er, I walk down to the (Ab)riv er. Let the (Ebm)calm put me un der, (Bbm)far be yond the thun der, and (Absus)tell me it will (Ab)all be o kay. And let the (Ebm)waves take all my wor ries, (Bbm)con quer them with fu ry, give me (Ab)shel ter, be my es cape. I walk (Fm)down to (Eb)the (Ab)riv er, where the (Db)trou bles, they can’t find me. Let the (Db)wa ters there re mind me the sun will be there when we wake. I walk (Db)down to the (Fm)riv er, though I might not un der stand it, it’s not al ways as we planned it, but we grow strong er when we break. So I walk down to the (Ab)riv er, I walk down to the (Ab)riv er, I walk (Db)down to the (Ab)riv er, I walk down to the (Ab)riv er, (Eb)to the riv er, to the (Ab)riv er, I walk (Db)down, (Ab)whoa, to the (C7)riv er, (Ab)whoa, (Ab)whoa.
