[Verse 1]

(D)                       Dsus2 
You know a dream is like a 
D         G             D
river, ever changing as it flows.
         G               D/F#     
And a dreamer's just a vessel that
        Em             A
 must follow where it goes
            D
Trying to learn from what's behind 
him
            Bm               G
And never knowing what's in store
            D
Makes each day a constant battle
          A                D
Just to stay between the shores.


[Chorus 1]

(D)               Dsus2 D       
And I will sail my vessel 'til 
     G         D
the river runs dry,
        G            D/F#     
Like a bird upon the wind these 
    Em           A
waters are my sky
            D                    G
I'll never reach my destination if I
 never try
           D                     
So I will sail my vessel 'til the 
   A          D Dsus2 D
river runs dry.

[Verse 2]

(D)                     Dsus2 D 
Too many times we stand aside 
           G            D
and let the waters slip away
              G            D/F#   
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
    Em           A
 has now become today
               D                   
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
      Bm            G
 and say you're satisfied
  D                              A
Choose to chance the rapids and 
                 D
dare to dance the tide.


[Chorus 2]

(D)               Dsus2 D       
And I will sail my vessel 'til 
    G          D
the river runs dry,
        G            D/F#     
Like a bird upon the wind these 
   Em            A
waters are my sky
             D                     
I'll never reach my destination if 
         G
I never try
           D                     
So I will sail my vessel 'til the 
  A           D Dsus2 D
river runs dry.


[Bridge]

D   Dsus2 D        Bm          
       And there's bound to be 
       G
rough waters
              D                 
       And I know I'll take some 
  G
falls
                     Em            
       But with the good Lord as my
   D/F#
 captain
              G                    A
        (changing key into E)
       I can make it through them 
all...

           (E)                     
And I will sail my vessel 'til the 
(A)        (E)
river runs dry,
       (A)          (E/G#)      
Like a bird upon the wind these 
(F#m)         (B)
waters are my sky
             E                  A
I'll never reach my destination if I
 never try
           E                     
So I will sail my vessel 'til the 
         B        E     A
river runs dry.
             E
Yes, I will sail my vessel
           B         A
'Til the river runs dry...
                     E
'Til the river runs dry.
