[Verse 1]
So there'Fs longing in the shouldeCrs now
There was a wildnDmess in that tBbime
Can't we now Csay
Oh sweet were the Fhours, but Bbhours to Cfind
There was no waFy to live in Csimple dreams
There was no strDmaightness to our Bbline
Gravel in Chand
Darling, we're Fmoving the Bbmountains Caround
[Chorus]
This is the Bbfire of leaving Cpains
when the Flove is gone but the Dmneed remains
into the Bbshiver and Ccold of day
when the Fhouse is gone but the street Dmremains
I guess it's Ctrue
BbI guess these rivers never knFew
[Verse 2]
And so fiFnally the Cnight time comes
There is no lDmot to cast a Bbblame
No need to Chide
No fear who I'd Fmeet in some Bbgrocery Clane
[Chorus]
ThiBbs is the fire of Cleaving pains
when the Flove is gone but the Dmneed remains
into the Bbshiver and Ccold of day
when the Fhouse is gone but the street Dmremains
I guess it's Ctrue
BbI guess these rivers never knFew
[Instrumental]
Bb F C Dm
[Verse 3]
And I'll sing of Fseasons 'til you Cturn me off
I see the Dmway of letting Bbgo
They'll be the Csame
And whatever Fchanges these Bbchanges I Cknow
[Chorus]
TBbhis is the fire Cof leaving pains
When we're nFot that strong but the nDmeed remains
into the Bbshiver and Clights of day
when the Fhouse is gone but the fields Dmremain
I guess it's Ctrue
BbI guess these rivers never knFew
[Instrumental]
Bb F C Dm

[Verse 1]

F C

So there's longing in the shoulders now

Dm Bb

There was a wildness in that time

Can't we now say

F Bb C

Oh sweet were the hours, but hours to find

F C

There was no way to live in simple dreams

Dm Bb

There was no straightness to our line

Gravel in hand

F Bb C

Darling, we're moving the mountains around

[Chorus]

Bb C

This is the fire of leaving pains

F Dm

when the love is gone but the need remains

Bb C

into the shiver and cold of day

F Dm

when the house is gone but the street remains

I guess it's true

Bb F

I guess these rivers never knew

[Verse 2]

F C

And so finally the night time comes

Dm Bb

There is no lot to cast a blame

No need to hide

F Bb C

No fear who I'd meet in some grocery lane

[Chorus]

Bb C

This is the fire of leaving pains

F Dm

when the love is gone but the need remains

Bb C

into the shiver and cold of day

F Dm

when the house is gone but the street remains

I guess it's true

Bb F

I guess these rivers never knew

[Instrumental]

Bb F C Dm

[Verse 3]

F C

And I'll sing of seasons 'til you turn me off

Dm Bb

I see the way of letting go

They'll be the same

F Bb C

And whatever changes these changes I know

[Chorus]

Bb C

This is the fire of leaving pains

F Dm

When we're not that strong but the need remains

Bb C

into the shiver and lights of day

F Dm

when the house is gone but the fields remain

I guess it's true

Bb F

I guess these rivers never knew

[Instrumental]
