[Verse 1] [D] A lonely mother gazing [A] out of her window Staring a [C] t a son that she just can't t [G] ouch If at any [D] time he's in a jam, she'll be [A] by his side But he doesn't [C] realize he hurts her so [G] much
[D] But all the praying just ain't [A] helping at all 'cause he can't [C] seem to keep his self out of [G] trouble So he goes out [D] and he makes his money the best [A] way he knows how Another [C] body laying cold in the [G] gutter, listen to me
[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 [C] tation but he just can't [G] see [D] She gives him loving that his [A] body can't handle But all [C] he can say is "baby it's [G] good to me" [D] One day he goes and takes a [A] glimpse in the mirror But he [C] doesn't recognize his own [G] face [D] His health is fading and he [A] doesn't know why 3 letters [C] took him to his final [G] resting place, y'all don't hear me?
[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 3] [D] I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many [A] storms have come and gone 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 [D] only bleedin' hope, is for the folk who can't cope 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 [D] claim the insane and name this day in time for fallin' prey to [A] crime I say the system got you victim to your own mind [C] Dreams are hopeless aspirations In hopes of comin' [G] true believe in yourself the rest is up to me and you
[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]
[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] (fade out)
