[Verse I]
EStepped outside on my front porch this mAorning and lit a cigarEette
I was Eputting all the pieces back togAether but hadn’t got it Eyet
SomeEtimes I need a minute for my Aeyes to adjust to the lEight
And I couldnE’t quite remember what it Awas that kept me up all Enight
[Verse II]
I woke Eup from the middle of a dAream just as dawn began to brEeak
Slowly Eit is starting to siAnk in, suddenly I’m wide awEake
There was a Edark storm that was closing in on Aus, all the light disapEpeared
You said Esomething about staying on the Amove or else you’d die right hEere
[Chorus]
Now the water’s rC#mise on the river wEide
You’ve already C#mgone across the RubicEon
But you will Acatch me cEoming aBround
Once the Asediment sEettles Bdown
And I will Abrave the Enarrows Bdeep
Just to Asweep you Eoff your Bfeet
[Intro]
E  F#m  G#m    B   C#m
E  F#m  G#m    B   C#m
[Verse III]
Now there Ecomes a time when nothing is for cAertain and you’re working ‘gainst the Eclock
The Eworst ain’t ever over till you’re Aall alone and sober taking Estock
But when we’re Eout of explanations, we Aturn all of our questions to the Esky
As I Estand beneath the heavens, I Aswear this valley won’t run Edry
[Ending Chorus]
Now the water’s rC#mise on the river wEide
You’ve already C#mgone across the RubicEon
But you will Acatch me cEoming aBround
Once the Asediment sEettles Bdown
And I will Abrave the Enarrows Bdeep
Just to Asweep you Eoff your Bfeet
And I will Abrave the Enarrows Bdeep
Just to Asweep you Eoff your Bfeet

[Intro]

E F#m G#m B C#m

[Verse I]

E A E

Stepped outside on my front porch this morning and lit a cigarette

E A E

I was putting all the pieces back together but hadn’t got it yet

E A E

Sometimes I need a minute for my eyes to adjust to the light

E A E

And I couldn’t quite remember what it was that kept me up all night

[Verse II]

E A E

I woke up from the middle of a dream just as dawn began to break

E A E

Slowly it is starting to sink in, suddenly I’m wide awake

E A E

There was a dark storm that was closing in on us, all the light disappeared

E A E

You said something about staying on the move or else you’d die right here

[Chorus]

C#m E

Now the water’s rise on the river wide

C#m E

You’ve already gone across the Rubicon

A E B

But you will catch me coming around

A E B

Once the sediment settles down

A E B

And I will brave the narrows deep

A E B

Just to sweep you off your feet

[Intro]

E F#m G#m B C#m

[Verse III]

E A E

Now there comes a time when nothing is for certain and you’re working ‘gainst the clock

E A E

The worst ain’t ever over till you’re all alone and sober taking stock

E A E

But when we’re out of explanations, we turn all of our questions to the sky

E A E

As I stand beneath the heavens, I swear this valley won’t run dry

[Ending Chorus]

C#m E

Now the water’s rise on the river wide

C#m E

You’ve already gone across the Rubicon

A E B

But you will catch me coming around

A E B

Once the sediment settles down

A E B

And I will brave the narrows deep

A E B

Just to sweep you off your feet

A E B

And I will brave the narrows deep

A E B

Just to sweep you off your feet

[Outro]
