Introduction: D    A    D    D    

                                     D                                                                                                                                              G  
There've been times in my life when I've felt out of touch and half- crazy
A                                                                                                                      D  
Lost in a crowd with lovers and friends by my side
                          D                                                                                                                                 G  
There's a numbness I've known, all alone in some shimmering city
             A                                                                                                                                      D  
With bright lights around me and nothing but shadows in- -side
                                     G                                                            Bm                                                         D                                                            G  
There've been desperate times when my heart was so dry that I felt like my life was a curse
                D                                                                 A                                              D  
I was standin' knee deep in the river and dyin' of thirst
                          D                                                                                                                                    G  
There are months at a time when no reason nor rhyme can sus- tain me
             A                                                                                                                              D  
When nothin' makes sense and everything turns upside- down
                          D                                                                                                                                         G  
There are nights when I fight to keep dreamin' from driving me crazy
                A                                                                                                                                 D  
And I shut off my mind just to keep it from spinnin' a- round
                        G                                                                    Bm                                                                 D                                                                      G  
But it's down in that quiet in that stillness I find the sweet water for which I've longed searched
                D                                                                 A                                              D              B  
While standin' knee deep in the river and dyin' of thirst
                E                                                                                                                                                    A  
So if you're having times when you feel out of touch and half- crazy
B                                                                                                                            E  
Lost in a crowd with lovers and friends by your side
                  E                                                                                                                                                      A  
If the game's getting old and you're cold and exhausted and may- be
                B                                                                                                                              E  
You'd just like to cop-out and crumble or lay down and die
                  A                                                            C#m                                                                 E                                                                    A  
If you come to a time when you need to decide, friend, you might want to ask yourself first
             E                                                                 B                                              E  
AmI  
                                             C#m                                                            A                                                                         E                                                         A  
'Cause there's a great river runs from the heart of the sun through the soul of the whole uni- verse
                        C#m                                                                 A                                                         E                                                            B  
From the limitless light that brings order and might to the substance of Heaven and Earth
                        C#m                                                                 A                                                                      E                                                                    A  
And it's down in that quiet, in that stillness inside, there's a well we don't seek 'til we hurt
             E                                                                 B                                              E  
From standin' knee deep in the river and dyin' of thirst
             C#m                                                                 A                                                                    E                                                                 A  
Yes, down in that quiet, in that stillness inside are sweet waters to heal this whole Earth ---
                     E                                                                 B              E                                                                 B  
That is standin' knee deep in the river, standin' knee deep in the river
                          E                                                                 B                                              A  
We're all standin' knee deep in the river and dyin' of thirst
        A  E  BE  E
