[Verse]
C                         Am                             F   G
River, there are no stars in the city   Here, there is no telephone in the trees

Bb                                                 G
Beautiful days fall on the water, and all I can do is write you a letter

C                         Am                             F G
River, it's cold here in the morning  Later, I can see it in your eyes

Bb                             G       Bb                               G#
Wild and white, we follow the canyons  Quiet at night, we stare at the sky
[Chorus]
F#                                C#  F#                           C#
Leaving you now will never change me  Running away will change the view

A                         C#         F# A G
All I can see is the highway
[Verse]
C                         Am                             F   G
River, you will carry me through the fire  Maybe you'll drown me in your arms

Bb                                        G                Bb                      G#
But if I die like that, it won't be like dying  When I rise again, the ashes are mine
[Chorus]
F#                                C#  F#                           C#
Leaving you now will never change me  Running away will change the view

A                                               C#         F# A  C#
All I can see is the highway  All I can see is you
