[Intro]

[Verse 1]

E B A E

I've seen the top, I've seen the view

A E B

Lately I find not much is new

E B A E

And there's always a hill out there beyond

A E B A E

Where I could be and where I belong

[Verse 2]

E B A E

Some always take, some have to win

A E B

They leave you with scars again and again

E B A E

As they reach for the sky only to fall

A E B A E

They never change, I've seen them all

[Chorus]

E A E A E

Let the rivers run like they always do

A E B E

It's not up to me it's not up to you

A E A E

When we reach the end when our time is done

A E B E

Let us all be still while the rivers run

[Instrumental]

A E B A E

[Chorus]

A E A E

Let the rivers run from the great divide

A E B E

I will stay with you I'll be by your side

A E A E

When we reach the end when the words are done

A E B E

Let us listen well while the rivers run

[Outro]
