Verse:
D              Dm               Dadd9            Dsus4\G
Hey now little speedy head, the read on the speedmeter says
    D              Dm            Dadd9
you have to go the task in the city
      D                Dm
Where people drown and people serve,
   Dadd9           Dsus4\G         D         Dm            Dadd9
Don't be shy, your just deserve is only just lightyears to go

Chorus:
G                   A              D               Em
Me, my thoughts are flower strewn, ocean storm, bayberry moon
G             A                D
I have got to leave to find my way
G                  A             D                Em
Watch the road and memorize this life that pass before my eyes,
G            A          
  nothing is going my way

|D  Dm  |Dadd9         |

Verse:
The ocean is the rivers goal, a need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than lightyears to go

Chorus:
I have got to find the river, bergamot and vetiver
Run through my head and fall away
Leave the road and memorize this life that pass before my eyes,
  nothing is going my way

Verse:
There's no one left to take the lead, but I tell you and you can see
We're closer now and light years to go
Pick up here and chase the ride.  The river empties to the tide;
Fall into the ocean.

Chorus:
    G            A             D               Em
The river to the ocean goes, a fortune for the undertow
G               A         D
None of this is going my way
G                A                D              Em
There is nothing left to throw of ginger, lemon, indigo,
G         A                 D
Coriander stem and rose of hay
   G                 A               D              Em
Strength and courage overrides these privileged and weary eyes of
G          A           D
River poet search naivete
G                A                   D             Em
Pick up here and chase the ride, the river empties to the tide
G              A            D---
All of this is coming your way
