Missy Higgins – The River Verse 1
Dmaj7She ran until face was numb with cold Gmaj7And wore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold
Dmaj7She ran until her feet refused to hold Gmaj7So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old
Pre chorus:
Dmaj7And when she reached the river Dmaj7Her knees began to shiver
Gmaj7Her head with pounding voices from home Dmaj7Behind her was a vision,
Dmaj7A painful apparition Gmaj7Of a darker world that no one should know
Chorus: (Em7, F#m7)
Somebody's bed will neBm7ver be warm again thGmaj7e river wEm7ill keep this friend Bm7 (Em7, F#m7)
Yeah somebody's bed willBm7 never be warm again no Gmaj7never agEm7ain Dmaj7 Verse 2:
She dived beneath the water's icy skin, Hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin, And her eyes grew wider than they'd ever been Just wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins. And as her body lay there she decided to stay there Till darkness came to pull her away. And beautifully she sank as up river was the bank Where some bodiless troubles would stay.
