Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][Em][Am][G][Am][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Rolling River [Am]God[Em][G]
Little [D]Stone[G]s a[Am]re smooth[D][G]
Only once the water passes through
[C][G][Gsus4][C][Cm][G]
So I am [Am]a stone[Em][G]
[Em]Roug[G]h and grainy still[Am]
Trying [G]to reconcile [C]this
river's [D]chill[C]

[Verse 2]
[Chorus] But [C]when
I close [D]my [G]eyes
And feel [C]you [D]rushing [G]by
I know [F]that time brings [Em]change[E]
And [Am]change takes [C]time[D]
And when [C]the sunset [G]comes
My prayer [C]would be this [Gsus4]one[G]
That you might [Am]pick me up
And no[G]tice that I [C]am
Just [Cm]a little smoother in your hand
[G]

[Verse 3]
Some[D]times [F#m]raging [Em]wild
Sometimes swollen [Asus4]high[Em][Am]
[G]Never have I known this
[D]river [Cm]dry[G][D]
[G]The deepest par[Bm]t of you[Em]
Is where I want [Am]to stay
And [Em]feel the sharpest [D]edges
wash away

[Verse 4]
[Chorus] And when [C]I close
[D]my eye[G]s
And feel you [C]rushing [D]by[C][Gsus4]
[G]I know that tim[F]e brings cha[E]nge
And [Am]change takes [Dsus4]time[D]
And when [C]the sunset [D]com[G]es
My prayer would [C]be [Gsus4]just this one
[G]That you might pick me [Am]up
[G]And notice that I [C]am[Am][G][C][Cm]
Just a little smoother in your [G]hand

[Outro 1]
[G]
