"River of Love" by T-Bone Burnett (from the "T-Bone Burnett"
album)

VERSE 1
 G                                    D                      G
There's a river of love that runs through all times.
                                        D                        G

There's a river of grief that floods through our lives.
                                          D
It starts when a heart gets broken in two
             G                     C
By the thief of belief in anything that's true.
                     G                     D                      G
But there's a river of love that runs through all times.


VERSE 2
G                                     D                      G
There's a river of love that runs through all times.
                                               D                       G
But there's a river of tears that flows through our eyes.
                                             D
We fight through the night for freedom as it fades
          G                                C
Into a jail where we fail every time we make a break.
                      G                    D                        G
But there's a river of love that runs through all times.


INSTRUMENTAL VERSE


BRIDGE
Em                                             G
I had to run before I knew how to crawl.
       Em                                                                  G
The first step was hard, but I've had trouble with them all.
                    Em
But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim

And I know I never will see you again.
          C                         D
And I always made you happy.


VERSE 3
G                                    D                      G
There's a river of love that runs through all times.
                                       D                  G
There's a river of fire that burns with no light.
                                       D
The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke.
                G                               C
>From the lies we deny and we breathe them 'til we choke.
                     G                     D                        G
But there's a river of love that runs through all times.
