Biography:
Wild Rivers is an indie folk band based in Toronto, Ontario. The group, formed in 2015, was born out of Devan and Khalid, the duo that has experienced much success since they first met in Kingston in 2012. Devan Glover and Khalid Yassein have perfected their special musical chemistry, and continue making folk music together. The lead single, No Ribbons, from their debut EP This Town, enjoyed national radio airplay and led to the two being voted Toronto's Best New Artist in the 2015 CBC Searchlight contest.

[Intro]
G#m B
G#m E
[Verse]
B
I'll apologize but I’ll try to make it unclear
G#m B
And I love this city but I'm really not from here
G#m E
Now I gotta leave this town as a washed up stuntman
B G#m E B
In a beat up coupe I imagine is a mustang
G#m E B
There's a voice in my head singing out turn it around
G#m B
But I'm on a highway honey tearing up the East bound
G#m E B
There's a man out there smiling like a dying king
B
Laughing at my soul, searching for anything
[Chorus]
G#m B
And I’ve got mine
G#m B
I am a rock, I am an isle
G#m B
And I got mine
G#m E B
I'm shaking ground, I'm faking found
In my little town
B G#m B
[Verse]
B
These days I'm searching for the great unknown
Wondering if Paul Simon ever had it good alone
F# G#m B
Find me a place that can make a couple tables turn
G#m B
That’s warm all winter with a couple more bridges to burn
B G#m B
And I am a child yet I've got to let my spirit roam
F# G#m B
A few more years before I’ll hitch a ride home
B
I’ve got bones to break and miles to go alone
G#m B
One day I’ll start writing like I’m Leonard Cohen
[Chorus]
G#m B
And I’ve got mine
G#m E B
I am a rock, I am an isle
G#m E B
And I got mine
G#m E B
I'm shaking ground, I'm faking found
In my little town
B G#m E B
[Outro]
C#m E
I'm still tall and made of stone
C#m E
But I still can't rest on my own
C#m E
I'm still tall and made of stone
C#m E
But I still can't rest on my own
G#m E B G#m E B
I'm on my own
