Acoustic Ballad Interpretation
by Buenofine Dayao Calse
[Intro]
G A G A G A G A D Dsus2 D
[Verse 1]
(D) Dsus2 D G D You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows. G D/F# Em A And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes D Trying to learn from what's behind him Bm G And never knowing what's in store D Makes each day a constant battle A D Just to stay between the shores.
[Chorus 1]
(D) Dsus2 D G D And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry, G D/F# Em A Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky D G I'll never reach my destination if I never try D A D Dsus2 D So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
[Verse 2]
(D) Dsus2 D G D Too many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away G D/F# Em A 'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today D Bm G So don't you sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied D A D Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.
[Chorus 2]
(D) Dsus2 D G D And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry, G D/F# Em A Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky D G I'll never reach my destination if I never try D A D Dsus2 D So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
[Bridge]
D Dsus2 D Bm G And there's bound to be rough waters D G And I know I'll take some falls Em D/F# But with the good Lord as my captain G A (changing key into E) I can make it through them all...
[Final Chorus]
