Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Am][G][D][C][Am][G][D][Am]
[G][D][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
There was a [G]time when your [D]waters had [Am]run still
I don't [G]know where,
[D]but those waters hav[C]e die[Am]d
As [G]you [D]held hands with the
[Am]hell beneath your [G]feet
You turned [D]your back and
waved [C]heaven [Am]goodbye

[Verse 2]
When [G]the [D]levee [Am]fell [G]away
For you lost [D]more than [C]yourself that [Am]day
When [G]the [D]levee fell [Am]away
[C]Forever is [Am]just a word you [G]say
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][D][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
For all of the [G]colors in your
[D]dreams have [Am]gone astray
Just like a [G]blind [D]man who's [C]lost [G]his [Am]way
[G]As the clock tic[D]ks and the[Am] end is near[G]
You left [D]town,
yet your [C]troubles are all still [Am]there

[Verse 4]
When [G]the [D]levee [Am]fell [G]away
For you lost [D]more than
[C]yourself that [Am]day
When [G]the [D]levee fell [Am]away
[C]Forever is [Am]just a word you say
[G]

[Verse 5]
This [D]train has [Am]run out of [C]track
As the engines [G]fade
[D]Far, [Am]far, far away, you [C]fall[Am][C]

[Interlude 2]
And that's where you'll stay
[G][D][Am][G][D][C][Am][G][D][Am]
[G]
[D][C][Am][G][D][Am][G][D][C]
[Am][G][D][Am][G][D][C][Am]

[Verse 6]
When [G]the [D]levee fell [Am]away[G]
For you lost [D]more than [C]yourself that [Am]day
When [G]the [D]levee [Am]fell away
[C]Forever is [Am]just a word you say
