[A] by his side
But he doesn't
[C] realize he hurts her so
[G] much
[D] But all the praying just ain't

Another
[C] body laying cold in the

[Chorus][D] Don't go chasing
[A] waterfalls
Please stick to the
[C] rivers and the lakes that you're
[G] used to
I know that you're
[D] gonna have it your way or
[A] nothing at all
But I think you're
[C] moving too fast
[G] [Verse 2][D] Little precious has a
[A] natural obsession
For temp

[G] see
[D] She gives him loving that his
[A] body can't handle
But all
[C] he can say is "baby it's

Leavin' a trace of not one God-given
[C] ray, is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
I pray all
[G] ten fade away Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
[D] And like His promise is true only my faith can und
[A] The many chances I blew, to bring my life to a
[C] new
Clear blue and unconditional skies, have dried the
[G] tears from my eyes,
[N.C.] no more lonely cries
My

With such an end
[A] urin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
[C] Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein?
[G] What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You

In hopes of comin'
