This Old Raft

Intro:

[Verso 1]
 
D 
I built a raft out of a broken heart 

Gathered the pieces that 
             A 
love had torn apart 
                D 
So I'd never get carried 
G         D 
away again like that 

G        D             A 
Tired of falling in and so I built a raft 
 


[Refrão]
 
D 
But your love was a river 
Bm      A       D 
I couldn't cross 
            Bm        G    A 
You swept me over your waterfall 
A              D 
Now I'm at your mercy 
G                 D 
there's no turning back 
G                     D 
'Cause your love was a river 
    A                  D 
too strong for this old raft 
 


[Verso 2]
 
D 
These planks and ropes have seen some storms 
                                  A 
The rudder's gone the sail is torn 
                D  G 
So wherever you run I'm 
      D  G 
bound to roam 
         D            A 
With this old heart of planks 
and ropes

'Cause your love was a river 
Bm      A       D 
I couldn't cross 
            Bm        G    A 
You swept me over your waterfall 
A              D 
Now I'm at your mercy 
G                 D 
there's no turning back 
G                     D 
'Cause your love was a river 
    A                  D 
too strong for this old raft

D 
If ten thousand miles is how far you go 
                                   A 
You'll never again have to be alone 
                  D      G         D 
Through long dark canyons to desert  floors 
G            D          A 
I'll be your friend till that 

golden shore
