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.
