[Intro]

C Am C Am F
(x2)

[Verse 1]

C Am F C
I’m at the mouth of a big, big river and I’m surely gonna drown
C Am F C
I guess I’d like to taste that river and how far I’ll go down
G Am F C
And now I see it in your eyes, you know where I’ve been
C F C F C G C
And where I haven’t, it’s just a habit, it meant nothing at all

[Chorus]

C B/C Am B/C C
You’ll find me at the bottom
C B/C Am B/C C
Of a raging river or a bottle
C B/C Am B/C C
Grace will lead I will follow
C B/C Am B/C C
Faithfully till tomorrow
C G C
Lord knows I’m a liar

[Intro Repeat]

C Am C Am F
(x2)

[Verse 2]

C Am F C
I’m at the mouth of a big, big river and I know that it’s sink or swim
C Am F C
I’m drunk enough to test that river and how deep I’ll get in
G Am F C
Guess I used to have control, now I don’t know
C F C F C F C
What I’m thinking it’s just the drinking, it meant nothing at all

[Chorus]

C B/C Am B/C C
You’ll find me at the bottom
C B/C Am B/C C
Of a raging river or a bottle
C B/C Am B/C C
Grace will lead I will follow
C B/C Am B/C C
Faithfully till tomorrow
C G C
Lord knows I’m a liar

[Intro Repeat]

C Am C Am F
(x2)

[Verse 3]

C Am F C
I’m at the mouth of a big, big river and I’m surely gonna die
C Am F C
But if I do or if I don’t we’ll meet on the other side
G Am F C
Guess I used to feel alive now I’m paralyzed
C F C F C F C
But I still feel it in my heartbeat, but it means nothing at all

[Chorus]

C B/C Am B/C C
You’ll find me at the bottom
C B/C Am B/C C
Of a raging river or a bottle
C B/C Am B/C C
Grace will lead I will follow
C B/C Am B/C C
Faithfully till tomorrow
C G C
Now I know you’re a liar
