Ben Caplan - Down to the River Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I went down to the river, blowing out onto the sea.
On my way to the ocean, let the spirit swallow me.
I got low down in the water, I let the current gut my bones.
I got nine kinds of [F] trouble, I'm just trying [Bb] to find [Cm] my way home. _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ [C] Twenty some years of living, and a thousand [F] wasted days.
[Cm] I have loved [Bb] a lot of women, [F] many times I've gone wrong [Cm] ways.
Then I came [Bb] down to the water, [Eb] for a dip to [F] clean my soul.
[Cm] They keep telling [Bb] me that I'm just a [F] babe, but baby, why do I [Bb] feel [Cm] so old?
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[F] _ [Dm] _ [Cm] [C] This is [F] the verge of a breakthrough, [Eb] it's a fine line [G] that cannot be [Cm] bent.
And I felt like [F] a river run dry, but [Eb] I don't know where all of [G] the rain water went.
[Cm] And I believe we [F] were all there, [Eb] but I see two [G] frontiers of blue light.
[Cm] There is no such [Dm] thing as a dawn or [Eb] a dusk, it's daylight [G] until it is night.
You got to [F] fight for the dream, and you got [Eb] to [G] run into the wind.
You got to [F] rage against the dying of [Eb] the light, live for [G] the moment that's left.
You got to [F] fight against the dream, and you got [G] to run into the wind.
You got to [F] rage against the dying of [Eb] the light, [G] live for the moment that's left.
[Ab] Cause there is no such thing as a dying [Cm] man
We're alive till the moment we're [Ab] dead
And a drowning man is just a [G] living man
Who hasn't run out of his last bit of breath
