Db


[Verse 1]
Db                      Ab
I've loved a river like you before
Dm             Db
I'm the one to blame
                  Eb
He washed away my cleverness
                    Ab
And hallowed out my name
Db                     Eb
I've loved a river like you before
Bb                     Db
The deep and thundering kind
                  Eb
He rushed into my belly and
                Ab
Clouded over my eyes


[Chorus]
      Db           Ab            Db           Ab
If you wanted to be happy, which I somehow doubt
        Db           Ab          Bb7           Eb
I could swallow your river if you opened your mouth


[Verse 2]
    F                    Ab
I've loved a river like you before
           D7       Db
You can't scare me away
                    Eb
I've tamed the moss up on the rocks
                   Ab
And molded the red clay


[Chorus]
       Db            Ab                Db          Ab
If you wanted to be happy, which would be a surprise
        Db           Ab           Bb7             Eb
I could swallow your sorrow if you opened your eyes


[Verse 3]
    Db                  Eb
I've loved a river like you before
Dm            Db
I'm a river too
               Eb
So you can run into me
                    Ab
And I'll run into you


[Interlude]
Db Ab Db Ab Db Ab
Bb Eb Db Ab Eb Ab


[Chorus]
      Db            Ab             Db           Ab
If you wanted to be happy, which I somehow doubt
        Db           Ab            Bb         Eb
I could swallow your river if you opened your mouth


[Outro]
F            E          Eb
I've loved a river like you before
   Dm            Db
If only I were wise
                   Eb
I never learned to turn and run
                     Ab
When I saw the water rise
