Missy Higgins – The River (Guitar)

    Cmaj7
She ran until her face was numb with cold and

       Fmaj7
Wore a cotton gown that blazed the night untold

    Cmaj7
She ran until her feet refused to hold

           Fmaj7
So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old

    Cmaj7
And when she reached the river her knees began to shiver

    Fmaj7
Her head with pounding voices from home

  Cmaj7
Behind her was a vision, a painful apparition

     Fmaj7
Of a darker world that no—one should know

Dm F            Am Em             F      Dm
     Somebody's bed will never be warm again

               Em        Am
The river will keep this friend

Dm F            Am Em             F      Dm
     Somebody's bed will never be warm again

           Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
No never again

    Cmaj7
She dived beneath the water's icy skin

           Fmaj7
Hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin

        Cmaj7
And her eyes grew wider than they'd ever been

                 Fmaj7
Just wishing the numbness to cut deeper with its pins

    Cmaj7
And as her body lay there she decided to stay there

     Fmaj7
Till darkness came to pull her away

    Cmaj7
And beautifully she sank as up river was the bank

           Fmaj7
Where some bodiless troubles would stay

Dm F            Am Em             F      Dm
     Somebody's bed will never be warm again

               Em        Am
The river will keep this friend

Dm F            Am Em             F      Dm
     Somebody's bed will never be warm again

           Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
No never again

Dm F            Am Em             F      Dm
     Somebody's bed will never be warm again

               Em        Am
The river will keep this friend

Dm F            Am Em             F      Dm
     Somebody's bed will never be warm again

           Cmaj7
No never again

           Fmaj7
No never again
