lyrics

Intro
Bm | A | G | Bm
Forgetful River
Verse
D Am G D
I don't want to remember where you end and I begin Like the river that can't recall its name
Scenary changes, it all looks the same to me BmAG D
The way it is is the way it's meant to be
D Am G D Lovers dine on conversation in windows I pass by I'm hungry, wet and empty, they are full and dry
Pre Chorus
Am G Canyons were carved long ago D
The river runs deep
The strength of the water
is in the ties we keep
Chorus
G DBmG
Flow out of you, flow into me
D /F# G A
Wash away selfish memories
Bm G D A Forgetful river, Forgetful river BmGA Bm Forgetful river, drown me in my sleep
Verse
D AmGD Can you still feel my frozen toes under the sheets? Do you still miss my touch as you give in to sleep? I am an ocean spilling on your shore
Bm A G D
Come and get your feet wet lovers once more

Pre Chorus Chorus
Tag
BmGA Bm Forgetful river, drown me in my sleep Bm G A Bm Forgetful river, remember me
