[Intro]
F C G
[Verse 1]
F C
I used to sit down by the river
F C G
Watchin ripples hit the shore
F C C
Oh how the currents seem to bicker
F C
How the rapids seem to roar
F C
I could never understand it
F C G
How such rage could bring me peace
F C
Til I stood on the edge of a canyon
G
And realized the problem was me
[Chorus]
F C
Every ripple and splash of a wave
G C
It carves its own path into land
F C
On the surface it seems unbehaved
G
But what else could make canyons grand
F C
I never sat back and thought
G Am
Bout the change that comes day to day
F C
So each current that you and I fought
G F C G
We're a piece of our story being carved away
[Verse 2]
F C
I belong now to the mountains
F C G
To their stature and grace
F C
You wouldn't know by the strength that they hold
G
The years of eroding they faced
[Interlude]
Am F C
Like the sun hits the peaks
Am F C
Like the laughter we've shared
Am F C
Light can be found in the darkest of places
G
Just a smile can show you I'm there
Am F C
Like a stone has potential to be
Am F C
Slowly smoothed by the tide
Am F C
Curves that seem nothing but gentle
G
Were once edges and places to hide
[Chorus]
F C
Every ripple and splash of a wave
G C
It carves its own path into land
F C
On the surface it seems unbehaved
G
But what else could make canyons grand
F C
I never sat back and thought
G Am
Bout the change that comes day to day
F C
So each current that you and I fought
G F C G
We're a piece of our story being carved away
