Lyrics  
RIVER OF PAIN
( STEVE DAFOE 2009)
(COPYRIGHTED)

CHORUS:

Fmaj7 C 
I'M STANDING ON THE EDGE
ON THIS RIVER OF PAIN
IN THE SUNSHINE OR THE RAIN
ON MY OWN RIVER OF PAIN
LIVING ON THE EDGE 
ON MY OWN RIVER OF PAIN


VERSE 1:

Am7 Dm7 
SOMETIMES GENTLE BUT OFTEN VIOLENT 
Am7 Cm7
THROUGH TO ITS MURKY DEPTHS
Am7 Dm7 
THE BOTTOM NEVER TO BE SEEN
Am7 Dm7 
NEVER TO BE TOUCHED THE BLACKNESS
Am7 Cm7
IT CAN ALL FLOAT BY OR CHURN HIGH


VERSE 2:

Am7 Dm7 
THE SUN CAN SPARKLE GOLDEN ON TOP
Am7 Cm7
BUT THE CHILL OF ICE EXISTS BELOW
Am7 Dm7
WITH LIFE AND THINGS NOT SEEN
Am7 Dm7
THE WATER CAN IDLE BY ON A GOOD DAY
Am7 Cm7
OR ROIL FAST IN A BAD WAY.




VERSE 3:

Am7 Dm7 
AND WHERE THE RIVER ALL GOES
Am7 Cm7
NO ONE REALLY DOES KNOW
Am7 Dm7 
AS IT WEAVES THROUGH THE EARTH'S TERRAIN
Am7 Dm7 
IT JUST MELTS WITH OTHER PAIN
Am7 Cm7
ROILING AND CHURNING AGAIN AND AGAIN
