C
Speed river at my feet running low and flat
Am
I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking about the past
F C
and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky
G F
The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down
G F C
John's at my side but he's sitting on firmer ground
[Verse]
C
John says I look at the moon and the stars
Am
these days more often than I look into his eyes
F C
and I cant disagree so I dont say nothing
G F
I just stare on past his face at Venus rising
G F C
like a shiney speck of hope hanging over the horizion
C
With each passing year that I sit here
Am
that horizion seems to inch just that much nearer
F C
and all that appears on it seems as clear as spit
G
But if there's one thing in my life
F
that these years have taught it's
G F
that you can always see it coming
C
but you can never stop it
[Chorus]
C
Speed river at my feet running low and flat
Am
I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking about the past
F C
and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky
G F
The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down
G F C
John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning
G F
The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down
G F C
John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning
