I see white horses charge in line
F#m A
The earth repels them every time
G#m G
And snow-white vultures circle wide

We quell our heads with sweet sedative wine

And when we runneth over it makes no difference why
[Refrão]
E A
So go one further step into the river
E G#m
Feel your body roll
D C#7 F#m
But if we both stay home and avoid all calls

Then it won't be long
F#m E
'Til maybe neither of us will hurt anymore

The more I watch this river go
G#m G
Discharge the world we've both outgrown

The tallest tales we've ever been told
A
Because the champagne air won't always overflow
