Intro: G chord, adding C# to it, moving into D
[Verse 1]
You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.
G D/F# Em AAnd a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes
DTrying to learn from what's behind him
And never knowing what's in store
DMakes each day a constant battle
A DJust to stay between the shores
chorusD G D
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,
G D/F# Em ALike a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
D A DSo I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
[Verse 2]
Too many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away
G Eb/F# Em A'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today
D Bm GSo don't you sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,
Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
D GI'll never reach my destination if I never try
D A DSo I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
[Bridge]
And there's bound to be rough waters
D GAnd I know I'll take some falls
Em D/F#But with the good Lord as my captain
G A modulate into E:
I can make it through them all
[chorus] (there are no chords played during the first 2 lines)
E A EAnd I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry,
A E/G# F#m BLike a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
E B E ASo I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
EYes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
E'Til the river runs dry
