[Intro]
G Em7 G Golden, golden, golden river run G Em7 G To the East then drop beneath the sun G Em7 G And as the moon lies low and overhead - D - Em7 We're lost
Em7 - D - G - D
Em7 - G - Em7...
[Verse 1]
Em7 G Burn slow, burning up the back wall Em7 G Long roads, where the city meets the sky Em7 G Most days, most days stay the sole same Em7 G Please stay, for this fear it will not die
[Chorus]
C G If I had a boat, I would sail to you D Em Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true C G Once I had a dream, it died long before D Em - Em - Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
[Verse 2]
Em7 G Down low, down amongst the thorn rows Em7 G Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine Em7 G Birds play, try to find their own way Em7 G Soft clay, on your feet and under mine
[Chorus]
C G If I had a boat, I would sail to you D Em Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true C G Once I had a dream, it died long before D Em - Em7 - Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
[Bridge]
C Splitting at the seams G Heaving at the brace D Sheets all billowing Em7 The breaking of the day C Sea is not my friend G And everyone conspires D Still I choose to swim Em7 Slip beneath the tide C Once I had a dream G Once I had a hope D That was yesterday Em7 Not so long ago C This is not the end G This is just the world D Such a foolish thing Em7 Such an honest girl
[Chorus]
C G If I had a boat, I would sail to you D Em7 Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true C G Once I had a dream, it died long before D Em7 Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
