[Verse 1]
---------------------
           D
You know a dream is like a river
          G              D
Ever changin' as it flows
      G                      D
And a dreamer's just a vessel
          Em                  A
That must follow where it goes
               D
Trying to learn from what's behind you
          Bm                     G
And never knowing what's in store
              D     G           D
Makes each day a constant battle
        A
Just to stay between the shores
D Dsus4 Em D           D    G     D
            And I will sail my vessel

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
         G             D
'Til the river runs dry
       G                 D
Like a bird upon the wind
      Em               A
These waters are my sky
           D        G    D
I'll never reach my destination
G
If I never try
          D    G     D
So I will sail my vessel
         A             D
'Til the river runs dry

[Verse 2]
---------------------
         D
Too many times we stand aside
            G               D
And let the waters slip away
             G                 D
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
       Em              A
It has now become today
             D
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
       Bm                G
And say  you're satisfied
      D         G          D
Choose to chance the rapids
        A
And dare to dance that tide
D Dsus4 Em D           D    G     D
            And I will sail my vessel

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
         G             D
'Til the river runs dry
       G                 D
Like a bird upon the wind
      Em               A
These waters are my sky
           D        G    D
I'll never reach my destination
G
If I never try
          D    G     D
So I will sail my vessel
         A             D A
'Til the river runs dry

[Bridge]
---------------------
        Bm                  G
There's bound to be rough waters
      D                   G
And I know I'll take some falls
             Em                 D
Oh, with the good Lord as my captain
      G                       A
I can make it through them all

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
           E    A     E
And I will sail my vessel
         A             E
'Til the river runs dry
       A                 E
Like a bird upon the wind
      F#m              A
These waters are my sky
           E
I'll never reach my destination
A
If I never try
          E    A     E
So I will sail my vessel
         B             E F#m E A             E    A     E
'Til the river runs dry            Lord, I will sail my vessel
         B             A
'Til the river runs dry

[Outro]
