       Eb           Bb          F
I was cleaning the ash from the fire
    Eb           Bb        F
and putting the party away
Eb           Bb        F
helping out all of my lost friends
Eb          Bb           F
to see the light of day

      Eb           Bb               F
I was feeling the wind through the windows
Eb            Bb                 F
Sometimes it crashed through the wall
Eb             Bb           F      F Bb
seems like it comes out of nowhere
Cm         Bb         F
theres no warning at all

Cm
sometimes a river
Eb
sometimes a river
      Bb    F
runs dry
Cm
sometimes a river
Eb
sometimes a river
      Bb    F
runs high

Eb Bb F x2

       Eb        Bb            F
I was making my way through a movie
Eb          Bb         F
finding it hard to decide
Eb            Bb           F
sometimes it hits without warning
Eb            Bb         F
and turns me over inside

Eb        Bb         F
making a stab in the darkness
Eb        Bb          F
wearing a hole in the floor
Eb        Bb         F     F Bb
suddenly everything changes
Cm            Bb        F
your not the same as before

Cm
sometimes a river
Eb
sometimes a river
     Bb  F
runs dry
Cm
sometimes a river
Eb
sometimes a river
     Bb   F
runs high

Eb Bb F x4 solo

     Eb           Bb         F
you danced in my dream in a white dress
  Eb               Bb          F
i watched from the top of the stairs
  Eb       Bb          F
i woke up looking to find you
Eb      Bb        F
but you were not there

Eb  Bb       F
17 hours of driving
Eb        Bb       F
but thats not a surprise
    Eb         Bb           F
the worlds all heavy with traffic
     Eb         Bb          F
they never were good at goodbyes
      Eb         Bb         F
no we never were good at goodbyes

Cm
sometimes a river
Eb
sometimes a river
     Bb   F
runs dry

     Bb    F
runs high
