     by the waterfall, oooooooh


The second time I ran away I saw warriors on the train
catching tigers by the tail, they sang ooooooooh
     by the waterfall, oooooooh


  Emaj7                                         [accord]F#m11[/accord] 
Cause the way they look at you as if you were a stranger

The way they talk to you as if you were a child
  Emaj7                   [accord]F#m11[/accord]      Emaj7       [accord]F#m11[/accord]]       *E
  by the waterfall, oooooooh

 [accord]F#m11[/accord]                            E
The last time I run away, well I hope it is with you
 [accord]F#m11[/accord]                            E
Will you let me show you where to run?
  Emaj7                   [accord]F#m11[/accord] 
  by the waterfall
