Intro: G Em C D G
I stare at a Gpicture but there's nothing Emfor it
I pull on the Cbottle and watch this Driver roll on Gby
Trying to find Gpurpose trying to see Emmeaning
Trying to make Csense of the Dnonsense that I've called my Glife
Cause only this Griver can bear me to Dsafety
Only this Emriver can bear me aCway Em C Em C D
See them all Gwork and play there on the Emother bank
Warm in their Chouses while I Dface my cold Galone
Guess I've been Gdrinking away to keep the wolves of my Emmind at bay
but if you Crun you Ddie I'm just too tired to Gcare
Cause only this Griver can bear me to Dsafety
Only this Emriver can bear me aCway Em C Em C D
I feel Her Gflowing, flowing right Dthrough me
I hear Her Emwhispers drowning my Cwords
Only this Griver
Only this Emriver,
Only this Criver can Dsave me from Gmyself
Where did my Gsoul go?
Where did my Dspirit hide?
Why won't they Emrescue me from the pain in my Cmind?
Only this Griver in all of her Dglory
Only this Emriver can bear me Caway
Only this Griver, only this Emriver, only this Griver . . . Em G
