[Verse]
D
Shadow let go
D
There's something you should know
D
I just found my new direction
D
And I hope you like the key
G
Like the air that led me to it
C
She's the wind that sucked me through it
D
She's a river and she's turning there in front of me
D
Stand back - get back
D
She'll paint your blue skies black
D
She gives bullet proof protection
D
She got a resurrection feel
G
When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose
C
She gives me travelling shoes
D
She's a river and she's turning there in front of me
[Chorus]
Em
And I go blind
G
Wasting my time
D C
While the rivers in front of me
G D C G
That's where I'm goin' to be
[Verse]
D
Shine on, get on
D
Twilight from dusk to dawn
D
She's the spirit of creation
D
She's the last chance guarantee
G
Got a myriad of poses
C
Sweet miracles and roses
D
She's a river and she's turning in front of me
[Chorus]
Em
And I go blind
G
Wasting my time
D C
While the rivers in front of me
G D C G
That's where I'm goin' to be
D G D
[Chorus]
Em
'Cause when I find
G
My state of mind
D
The river's in front of me
[Bridge]
D
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
D
So take me on that freedom ride
D
My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon
D
My nerves just feel electrified
G
Meet me on the staircase
G
Outside a darkened room
G
Light me like a naked flame
D
The voice of Mother Nature states
D
All things must pass
D
And nothing can remain
Em
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms
G D C G
So take me on that freedom ride
D
You raise me like a building to the very top
C G
Rush me to the end of time
D
You fill me full of danger
D
You give me future shock
C G
Then you leave me wasted dying
D G D
[Chorus]
Em
And I go blind
G
Wasting my time
D
The river's in front of me
