Intro
NONE
VERSE:
A
I want a lock of your hair
E
I'm pretty sure it cures disease
F#m
All you gotta do is lay your hands on me
A E
Until the illness leaves
A
I want us to be happy
E
Better than our families
F#m
All we gotta do is lay beside the creek
A E
Until we grow a tree
CHORUS:
F#m D A E
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
F#m D E A
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
VERSE:
A
Swear I'll try to believe
E
You love me just as God made me
F#m
F# lack of faith, a man with no belief
A E
Who passes in his sleep
A
And I'll be your Kentucky
E
Pressed in your book of dried up leaf
F#m
All you gotta do is promise to read me
A E
The chapters may be brief
CHORUS:
F#m D A E
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
F#m D E A
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
VERSE:
A
When I wake up with a fever
E
It must have been a dream I can't recall
F#m
Always feels like the rain is comin' down
A E
As soon as I come up
A
When I'm freezin' through the evenin'
E
You heart is burnin' like an anthracite
F#m
It quickens me in spite of all December's wrath
A E
Throughout the aftermath
CHORUS:
F#m D A E
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
F#m D E A
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
F#m D A E
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
F#m D E A
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
BREAK:
E
When you cross the stream
D A
Well you do so to find me
D A E
And walk along the salmon like a song
E
And the steps you take
D A
Might break me without warning
D A E
And remind me of the sorrow in the song
CHORUS:
F#m D A E
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
F#m D E A
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
F#m D A E
We're swimmin' in the rivers and we're drivin' on the roads
F#m D E A
We're always movin' forward like a fly upon a globe
