[Verse 1]
[C]Leaves are fallin' down
on the beautiful ground
I heard a [Am]story from the man in red
He said, "The [C]leaves are fallin' down,
such a beautiful sound
Son, I [Am]think you'd better go ahead"
But you [C]always hold your head up high
'Cause it's a [Am]long, long, long way down
This [G]town was [C]meant for passing through
Boy, it ain't nothin' new
Now go and [Am]show 'em
that the world stayed round

[Pre-chorus 1]
You better [C]run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the [Am]sound of the world,
don't watch it turn
[G]I just want to sho[Dm]w you what I kno[Em]w
And catch you when the [F]current
lets you [G]go

[Chorus 1]
Or should I just [C]get along with myself?
I never did [Am]get along with everybody else
[G]I've been trying [C]hard to do what's right
But you know [Am]I could stay here all nig[G]ht
[F]And watch the clouds fall fro[Em]m the sky[Dm]
Well, this [G]river is wild

[C]Run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the [Am]sound of the world,
don't watch it turn
(I [G]shake a little)
[C]Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk
(I shake a little)
[Am]Sometimes I hate the line I walk
[G]I just wanna s[Dm]how you what I k[Em]now
And catch you when the [F]current
lets you [G]go

[Chorus 2]
Or should I just [C]get along with myself?
I never did [Am]get along with everybody else
[G]I've been trying [C]hard to do what's right
But you know [Am]I could stay here all nig[G]ht
[F]And watch the clouds fall fro[Em]m the sky[Dm]
[G]Because this river is wil[G]d,
[F]godspeed ya, boy[Em]
[Am]This river is wild[G][F][Em]

[Verse 2]
Now [C]Adam's taking bombs
and he's stuck on his mom
Because that [Am]bitch keeps trying
to make him pray
[G]He's with the hip[C]pie in the park,
combing over the dark
Just trying to [Am]get some of that little-girl play
[G]You better

[Pre-chorus 3]
[F]run for the hills
be[C]fore they burn
Listen to the [Dm]sound of the world,
don't [C]watch it turn
I just want to [Dm]show you what I [Em]know
And catch you when the [F]current
lets you [G]go

[Chorus 3]
Or should I get [C]along with myself?
I never did [F]get along with every[Em]body else
I've been trying [G]hard to do what's [Am]right
But you know [C]I could stay h[F]ere all night
And watch the clouds fall [Em]from the [Dm]sky[G]
[F]The pain is hell in me tonig[G]ht
Because this river is [G]wild,
[F]godspeed ya, boy[Em]
[Am]This river is wild[G][F][Em][Am]
[G]wild,
[F]godspeed ya, boy[Em]
[Am]This river is wild[G][F][Em]

[Outro 1]
Now the [C]cars are everywhere,
raisin' dust at the fairground
[F]I don't think
I ever seen so many head[C]lights
[G]But there's something pul[E]ling me[Am]
The [C]circus and the crew, well,
they're [G]just passing through
Making [Am]sure the merry [G]still goes [F]'round
But it's a [G]long, long, long way [C]down
