"River of Love" by T-Bone Burnett (from the "T-Bone Burnett"

album)



VERSE 1

 G                                    D                      G

There's a river of love that runs through all times.

                                        D                        G

                       

There's a river of grief that floods through our lives.

                                          D

It starts when a heart gets broken in two

             G                     C 

By the thief of belief in anything that's true.

                     G                     D                      G

But there's a river of love that runs through all times.





VERSE 2

G                                     D                      G

There's a river of love that runs through all times.

                                               D                       G

But there's a river of tears that flows through our eyes.

                                             D

We fight through the night for freedom as it fades

          G                                C

Into a jail where we fail every time we make a break.

                      G                    D                        G

But there's a river of love that runs through all times.





INSTRUMENTAL VERSE





BRIDGE

Em                                             G

I had to run before I knew how to crawl.

       Em                                                                  G

The first step was hard, but I've had trouble with them all.

                    Em

But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim



And I know I never will see you again.

          C                         D 

And I always made you happy.





VERSE 3

G                                    D                      G

There's a river of love that runs through all times.

                                       D                  G

There's a river of fire that burns with no light.

                                       D

The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke.

                G                               C

>From the lies we deny and we breathe them 'til we choke.

                     G                     D                        G

But there's a river of love that runs through all times.
