[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G
The river’s born on top of the mountain
Em D G
When the clouds commiserate their misery
Cadd9 G
And It flows through the fields just like a fountain
Em D G
Until it lays its head to rest in the deep blue sea
 
[Chorus]
Em C G
I've always thought my time on earth was endless
Em C G
Then death took you away too soon
Em C G
I swear to spend the rest of my life shameless
Em D G
And do all the things we said we’d do

I stand knee deep in an estu-ar--y

Where I plan to float your ashes to the sea
Cadd9 G
And I ponder all the burdens that you carr--ied
Em D G
Am I strong enough to move now it’s only me
 
[Chorus]
Em C G
I've always thought my time on earth was endless

Then death took you away too soon

I swear to spend the rest of my life shameless

And do all the things we said we’d do

G Cadd9 G
The sun evaporates the world around us
Em D G
And sends it right back to the ones in need
Cadd9 G
Will You remember what you meant to me
Em D G
When you start a new journey to the sea
 
[Chorus]
Em C G
I've always thought my time on earth was endless
Em C G
Then death took you away too soon
Em C G
I swear to spend the rest of my life shameless
Em D G
And do all the things we said we’d do

[Reprise]
G Cadd9 G
The river’s born on top of the mountain

When the clouds commiserate their misery
