Mostly just played with standard chords. I've seen Mike play the bridge with barred chords and without, so
either way is fine. He also does a little "on/off" thing on the first fret of the B string. Enjoy!
G
I said I thought it would be Gcolder
You put your head upon my B7shoulder
Ain't it Cfunny how time just seems to Grun
What the hell have you been Gdoing
Not too sure guess just mostly B7moving
I've been Cspinning for so long and now I guess I'm Gspun
Like the Gwidest river, like the B7brightest Emmorn
There Chope where you can’t see it, there’s a Alight after the storm
But won't you Ghelp me to get thru it, I've been B7flailing like a Emchild
My Cmistakes they are so many, for my Dloving heart is Gwild
Not quite Gold
Far from B7young
Body Cbold with a youthful Gtongue
Like a Gkiss held out of context
I can't B7separate my mind
We can Cset this boat on fire, we can Gleave it all behind
Like the Gwidest river, like the B7brightest Emmorn
There’s Chope just up ahead, there’s a Ashelter safe and warm
But won't you Ghelp me to get to it, I've been B7selfish I have Emlied
My Cmistakes they are so many, for my Druthless heart is F#mwild
Like the winds that Emsheer the plains and Gcut you down to Dsize
D7None but the dust and Emseeds remain, they Aroot themselves and Grise
 G   B7   C   Gx2
Like the widest river, like the brightest morn
There is hope where you can't see it, there’s a light after the storm
Won't you help me to get through it, I've been flailing like a child
My mistakes they are so many, for my Dweary heart is CwildG
