Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
Speed River at my feet
running low and flat
Am 
I'm sit ting here burning daylight,
Thinking about the past
F 
And that distance out there
C 
Where the earth meets the sky
G 
The slightest move and this river mud
F 
Pulls me further down
G 
John's at my side,
F 
C 
but he's sitting on firmer ground

Verse 2
C 
John says I look at the
moon and the stars
Am 
These days more often
than I look into his eyes
F 
And I can't disagree
C 
so I don't say nothing
G 
F 
I just stare on past his face at Venus rising,
G 
F 
Like a shining speck of hope
C 
hanging over the horizon

Verse 3
C 
With each passing year that I sit here
Am 
That horizon seems to inch
just that much nearer
F 
And all that appears on it
C 
seems as clear as spit
G 
But if there's on thing in my life
F 
That these years have taught
G 
F 
It's that you can always see it coming
C 
But you can never stop it

F 
And that distance out there
C 
Where the earth meets the sky
G 
The slightest move and this river mud
F 
Pulls me further down
G 
John's at my side,
F 
C 
But he's not noticing that I'm drowning
G 
The slightest move and this river mud
F 
Pulls me further down
G

F
