[Intro]
G D F C
[Verse 1]
GMy lonely mother gazing Dout of her window
Staring Fat a son that she just can't tCouch
If at any Gtime I am in a jam, she'll be Dby my side
But I don't Frealize I hurt her so Cmuch
GBut all the praying just ain't Dhelping at all
Cause I can't Fseem to keep myself out of Ctrouble
GI make my money the best Dway I know how
Another Fbusker laying cold in the Cgutter
[Chorus]
GDon't go chasing Dwaterfalls
Please stick to the Frivers and the lakes that you're Cused to
I know that you're Ggonna have it your way or Dnothing at all
But I think you're mFoving too fast
CMoving too fast
[Verse 2]
GLittle precious has a Dnatural obsession for Ftemptation
But I just can't Csee
GYou give me loving that my Dbody can't handle
All that FI can say is, "Baby it's Cgood to me"
GEach day I go and take a Dglimpse in the mirror
But I Fnever recognize my own Cface
GMy health is fading and I Dcan't understand
Three letters Ftake me to my final Cresting place
[Chorus] 
GDon't go chasing Dwaterfalls
Please stick to the Frivers and the lakes that you're Cused to
I know that you're Ggonna have it your way or Dnothing at all
But I think you're mFoving too fast
CMoving too fast
[Chorus] 
GDon't go chasing Dwaterfalls
Please stick to the Frivers and the lakes that you're Cused to
I know that you're Ggonna have it your way or Dnothing at all
But I think you're mFoving too fast
CMoving too fast
[Interlude]
 G   D   F    C(x4)
[Chorus] 
GDon't go chasing Dwaterfalls
Please stick to the Frivers and the lakes that you're Cused to
I know that you're Ggonna have it your way or Dnothing at all
But I think you're mFoving too fast
CMoving too fast
[Chorus] 
GDon't go chasing Dwaterfalls
Please stick to the Frivers and the lakes that you're Cused to
I know that you're Ggonna have it your way or Dnothing at all
But I think you're mFoving too fast
CMoving too fast
