D                       G
I've been alone now for ten years
  D    G               D              A
I know how it feels to truly miss someone
D                         G          D
It's been a long road and I talk to my old man
G                   D                                 A
Shakes his head and says "You ain't seen nothing yet, son"
D
I used to think someday
G                D
I'd find an easy way
   G               D              A
To get as close as I could to the sun
 D
And I know the lines are drawn
           G                D
There's no running from the pain
G                      D                   A
No matter where you're from, rich or poor, old or young


[Chorus]
             G                 D
And I should thank my mother's God
    G                D
For giving her some faith in me
 G                D         A
You don't have to see it to believe it
D                                G                 D
I look at where I'm from and the people all around me
       G               D                     A
In the end, we're all searching for the same thing
           Bm                     G       Gb/D     Em    A    D
Throw your heart in the river and hope it sees the ocean someday


[Verse 2]
D                      G
I've been lost now for ten years
  D   G           D       A
I go where nobody's gonna find me
           D         G             D
I've been wandering, following the shadows
G                D           A
Listening to the echoes from behind me
      D                     G             D
As I orbit around what will only bring me down
     G             D                A
This abusive inspiration has always plagued me
           D                G                 D
If I could try again and go back to when I've been
            G               D                A
I'd have to let down my guard and unlock the door and let you in


[Chorus]
             G                 D
And I should thank my mother's God
    G                D
For giving her some faith in me
 G                D         A
You don't have to see it to believe it
D                                G                 D
I look at where I'm from and the people all around me
       G               D                     A
In the end, we're all searching for the same thing
           Bm                     G       Gb/D     Em    A    D
Throw your heart in the river and hope it sees the ocean someday
           Bm                     G       Gb/D     Em    A    D
Throw your heart in the river and hope it sees the ocean someday
