[INTRO]
D C#m Em D
D C#m Em D
[Verse 1]
D C#m Em D
Had a dream, you weren't in it
D C#m Em D
Butterflies in my stomach
G D C#m Em D
And a feeling that something was missing
D C#m Em D
Saw a deer in the garden
D C#m Em D
Licking up dirty water
G D C#m Em D
As I cut up the meat in the kitchen
[Chorus 1]
G G/F# A Asus4
When we hit that stream I held you high
G G/F# A Asus4
Set you down on the other side
G G/F# A Asus4 D C#m Em D
Years go by and I'm still carrying you
[Verse 2]
D C#m Em D
Read a book, hit a bottle
D C#m Em D
Took a pill for my troubles
G D C#m Em D
Some years are better than others
D C#m Em D
Many objects, little permanence
D C#m Em D
Like the stars up in the firmament
G D C#m Em D
Might be dead when their light finally reaches you
[Chorus 2]
G G/F# A Asus4
When we hit that stream I held you high
G G/F# A Asus4
Set you down on the other side
G G/F# A Asus4 D C#m Em D
Years go by and I'm still carrying you
[Bridge]
A
I put you down
G/B
Put you away
G
You're still around
Em A D C#m Em D
But I'm trying to live in the present tense today
D C#m Em D
[Chorus 3]
G G/F# A Asus4
When we hit that stream I held you high
G G/F# A Asus4
Set you down on the other side
G G/F# A Asus4 D C#m Em D
Years go by and I'm still carrying you
[Chorus 4]
G G/F# A Asus4
When we hit that stream I held you high
G G/F# A Asus4
Set you down on the other side
G G/F# A Asus4 G G/F#
Years go by and I'm still carrying you
[Outro]
A G G/F#
Still carrying you
A G G/F#
Still carrying you
A D C#m Em D
Well I'm still carrying you
