[D][F][Em][G]
[D][F][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Hey now, little [F]speedy head
The [Em]read on the speed [G]meter says
You [D]have to go to [F]task in the [A]city
Where [D]people drown and [F]people serve
[Em]Don't be shy
Your [G]just deserve
is [D]only just [F]light years to [A]go

[Chorus 1]
[G]Me, my thoughts are [A]flower strewn
[D]Ocean storm, bay[Em]berry moon
[G]I have got to lea[A]ve to find my way[D]
[G]Watch the road and [A]memorize
This [D]life that pass [Em]before my eyes
[G]Nothing is goi[A]ng my way[D]
[F][Em][G]
[D][F][A]

[Verse 2]
The [D]ocean is the [F]river's goal
A [Em]need to leave the [G]water knows
We're [D]closer now
than [F]light years to [A]go

[Chorus 2]
[G]I have got to f[A]ind the river
[D]Bergamot and [Em]Vetiver
[G]Run through my hea[A]d and fall awa[D]y
[G]Leave the road and [A]memorize
This [D]life that pass [Em]before my eyes
[G]Nothing is goi[A]ng my way

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
There's [D]no one left to [F]take the lead
But [Em]I tell you and you[G] can see
We're [D]closer now than [F]light years to [A]go
[D]Pick up here and [F]chase the ride
The [Em]river empties [G]to the tide
[D]Fall into the [F]ocean[A]

[Chorus 3]
The [G]river to the [A]ocean goes
A [D]fortune for the [Em]undertow
[G]None of this is goi[A]ng my way[D]
[G]There is nothing [A]left to throw
Of [D]Ginger, lemon, in[Em]digo
[G]Coriander ste[A]m and rose of hay[D]
[G]Strength and courage [A]overrides
The [D]privileged and [Em]weary eyes
Of [G]river poet [A]search nai[D]vete
[G]Pick up here and [A]chase the ride
The [D]river empties [Em]to the tide
[G]All of this is [A]coming your [D]way
