I laid down by the river’s edge
A
D
A
I laid down wondering where it led
A
D
A
I laid down by the river’s edge
F#m
D
A
And I woke up in a river bed
A
D
A
There were flowers in my hair
A
D
A
River flowers floating everywhere
A
D
A
And all the fishes came and kissed my feet
F#m
D
A
Dear old fishes, they said to me
C#m
F#m
They said oh, we could love you
D
A
But we are not yet what you want
C#m
F#m
Because oh, anyone could love you
D
A
You’ve got to find where you belong
A
D
A
All my needles, they were gone so fast
A
D
A
Not a needle left on a branch
A
D
A
I grew weaker and the river strong
F#m
D
A
I said, hey fishes But the fish were gone
A
D
A
Now the boulders I know they heard me cry
A
D
A
But they were stone-faced and they stood aside
A
D
A
So I went on at the river’s pace
F#m
D
A
With my eyes closed, I thought I heard them say
C#m
F#m
They said oh, we could love you
D
A
But we are not yet what you want
C#m
F#m
Because oh, we would only crush you
D
A
You’ve got to find where you belong
C#m
D
How does it feel
F#m
To be so certain
D
Without question
A
Of your purpose
F#m
Your position
D
Of your place
A
Of your home?
D
Of your place
E
Of your home
C#m
You cannot catch the river though
D
A
It makes you think you can
C#m
It trickles through your fingers
D
A
While you hold it in your hands
D
Just like I am
A
Just like I am
D
Just like I am
A
Just like I am
