D                        A
  A lonely mother gazing out of her window

        C                              G
Staring at a son that she just can't touch

          D                             A
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side

               C                         G
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much

D                                A
  But all the praying just ain't helpin' at all

                C                              G
'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble

               D                               A
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how

        C                       G
Another body lying cold in the gutter, listen to me

D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls

                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all

                   C               G
But I think you're moving too fast

D                       A
  Little precious has a natural obsession

        C                           G
For temptation but he just can't see

D                               A
  She gives him loving that his body can't handle

        C                             G
But all he can say is "baby it's good to me"

D                             A
  One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror

       C                           G
But he doesn't recognize his own face

D                             A
  His health is fading and he doesn't know why

              C                       G
Three letters took him to his final resting place, y'all don't hear me?

D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls

                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all

                   C               G
But I think you're moving too fast

D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls

                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all

                   C               G
But I think you're moving too fast

D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls

                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all

                   C               G
But I think you're moving too fast

D                A
Don't go chasing waterfalls

                    C                                G
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to

                   D                         A
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all

                   C               G
But I think you're moving too fast
