River Reflection

[Verso 1]


Dm             F      Gm       Bb 
I can't wait 'til I'm out the door before 
Dm    F         Gm       Bb 
I perform being already gone. 
Bb        F             Gm 
All that I want to be is undone. 
Bb       F    Eb  C 
How can I be anyone? 
      A7           Dm        Bb     C 
Don't go into that handsome river reflection. 


[Verso 2]


Dm              F          Gm           Bb 
Doubtless, your mother was peerless and patient 
Dm          F              Gm           Bb 
Filled the house with those clear-plastic angels. 
Bb        F              Gm 
Though she was rarely in need, 
Bb          F            Eb          C 
Something always got her down on her knees. 
      A7           Dm        Bb     C 
Don't go into that handsome river reflection 


 
A7                      Dm 
These days all seem so long. 
Bb       F            Gm 
I cannot hardly hold on. 
Gm    Bb      F 
I can't pretend 
That I've mended 

Gm C Gm C 


[Verso 3]


Dm              F            Gm        Bb 
When you've decided just how we'll configure it 
Dm              F         Gm     Bb 
Tell me about the place we'll live 
Bb        F         Gm 
It all seems so far away 
Bb     F       Eb      C 
How can I be anywhere today? 
      A7           Dm        Bb     C 
Don't go into that handsome river reflection.
