Verse1

G D

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows

G D/F# Em7

A

And the dreamer's just a vessel, that must follow where is goes

D G/D D Bm G

Trying to learn from what's behind you, and never knowing what's in store

D G/D D A

D G/D D

Makes each day a constant battle, just to stay between the shores

Chorus

D G/D D G/D D

And I will sail my vessel, 'til the river runs dry

G D/F# Em7 A

Like bird upon the wind, these water's are my sky

Bm A/C# D G/D D G

I'll never reach my destination, if I never try

D G/D D A D

So I will sail my vessel, 'til the river runs dry

Verse 2

Too many times we stand aside, and the waters slip away

'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow, has now become today

So don't you sit upon the shoreline, and say you're satisfied

Choose to chance the rapids, and dare to dance the tide

Yes I will

Chorus

A/C# Bm G

And there's bound to be rough waters

D D/F# G

And I know I'll take some falls

Em7 D/F#

But with the Good Lord as my captain

G Asus

I can make it through them all

Yes I will

E A/E E A/E E

Sail my vessel, 'til the river runs dry

A E/G# F#m7 B

Like bird upon the wind, these water's are my sky

C#m B/D# E A/E E A

I'll never reach my destination, if I never try

E A/E E B E F#m7

E/G#

So I will sail my vessel, 'til the river runs dry

A E A/E E B A

B/A A

Yes I will sail my vessel, 'til the river runs dry

B/A E

'Til the river runs dry
