[Verse 1]
I [D]wait to the river, but the river was dry
Saw a little bird that caught my eye
[G]Keep on running where you're going
I tell you something I [D]think's
worth knowing.

[Verse 2]
[D]Cities come and cities go,
Time can move fast and time
can move slow,
You've [G]only got two arms
on your shoulders
[Bm]Don't throw your

[Verse 3]
hands up [D]only to cry.
Don't [Bm]throw, don't [D]throw,
Don't [Bm]throw your hands up only to [D]cry.

Don't [Bm]throw your hands up only to [D]cry.

Don't [D]throw, [Bm]don't [D]throw,
Don't [Bm]throw your hands up only to cry.

the [Dsus4]paral lel[G] sea[D]
