[Verse 1]
            G
Ain't it a shame babe
          C                  G
How Your words fall in an empty place
C                  G
No one to follow or to trace
    C         C/B        | D | D |
No wonder You are like You do

[Verse 2]
              G
Holding Your change out
        C                    G
You're wrapped up within all Your cares
     C                  G
The waitress is stacking the chairs
     C          C/B         | D | D |
And holding the notes to the tune

[Chorus]
    C                D
And all Your precious stones
            G             C
They won't help keep You afloat
       G                D
Don't say You ain't been told
           C         C | G ..
When this river rolls over You

[Verse 3]
             G
Haven't You heard babe
         C                       G
How the speechless are storming the stage
 C                       G
Carrying the cards that You've made
     C          C/B        | D | D |
And lifting the tone of the room

[Verse 4]
              G
Ain't it the way how
          C                    G
When the cavalier is blocking the road
   C                        G
Resisting all things, He's been told
     C        C/B       | D | D |
And luring Us out to the moon

[Chorus] 

    C                    D
And all the seeds, You've sewn
         G               C
Under this weight, creek and groan
       G                D
It's so hard to keep A hold
           C         C | G ..
When this river rolls over You
