Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Dm][Dm][Am][Am]
[Em][Em][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
I see [Am]double up ahead
Where the [Dm]riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Is where the river runs [Am]red
Like a [Dm]King who stalks the wings
and shoots a dove
And frees an eagle in[Am]stead

[Pre-chorus 1]
It's [E]more or less the [F]same
as the [G]things that you said
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
I see [Am]trouble up the road
Like the [Dm]things you found in love
are by the way
And like to cheat on your [Am]soul
Like the [Dm]best and worst of thoughts
that lose control
Before you lie on your [Am]bed

[Pre-chorus 2]
It's [E]more or less the [F]same
as the [G]things that you said

[Chorus 1]
[Am]And anyw[C]ay for all the things
you [D]know
Tell me [G]why does the river not [Am]flow
And [C]anyway for all the things you [D]said
Tell me [G]why does the river run [Am]red
And [C]anyway for all the things you've [D]seen
Tell me [G]when will the river run [Am]green
And [C]anyway for all the things you [D]know
Tell me [G]why does the river not [Am]flow

[Verse 3]
[Am][Am]
[Am](Da- da- da da- da- da, da- da- da da- da- da)
[Am][Am]
[Am](Da- da- da da- da- da, da- da- da da- da- da)
It's [Dm]more or less the things
you fail to say in your way
that's your [Am]trouble
Like a [Dm]King who stalks the wings
and shoots the moon and the stars
And his [Am]double

[Pre-chorus 3]
It's [E]more or less the [F]same
as the [G]things that you said

[Chorus 2]
[Am]And anyw[C]ay for all the things
you [D]know
Tell me [G]why does the river not [Am]flow
And [C]anyway for all the things you [D]said
Tell me [G]why does the river run [Am]red
And [C]anyway for all the things you've [D]seen
Tell me [G]when will the river run [Am]green
And [C]anyway for all the things you [D]know
Tell me [G]why does the river not

Where the [Dm]river boat swayed beneath the sun

I see [Em]double,
that's my [Am]trouble
