Intro: D A D A 

Verse one 
D                        A  
A lonely mother gazining out of the window  
        C                              G  
Staring at her son that she just can't touch  
          D                         A  
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side  
       C                               G  
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much  
D                              A   
But all the praying just ain't helping at all  
             C                            G   
Cuz he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble  
            D  
So he goes out and he makes his money  
         A  
The best way he knows how  
         C                     G   
Another body layin cold in the gutter listen to me  
D                A   
Don't go chasing waterfalls  
                    C  
Please stick to the rivers  
                          G  
And the lakes that you're used to  
                   D   
I know that you're gonna have it  
            A  
Your way or nothing at all  
                    C                 G  
But I think you're moving too fast  

Verse Two 
D                        A  
Little precious has a natural obsession  
        C                              G  
 For temptation but he just can't see  
          D                         A  
She gives him loving that his body  
       C                               G  
 Can't handle but all he can say  
D                              A   
 Is "baby is good to me"  
             C                            G   
One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror  
            D  
 But he doesn't recognize his own face  
         A  
His health is fading and he doesn't know why  

Verse three 
D                        A  
Three letters took him to his final resting place...  
     C                           G  
 Y'all don't you hear me  
          D                         A  
Don't go chasing waterfalls  
     C                             G  
Please stick to the rivers  
D                              A   
And the lakes that you're used to  
             C                            G   
 I know that you're gonna have it  
            D  
Your way or nothing at all  
         A  
But I think your moving too fast  

Verse four 
     D                        A  
Come on I seen a rainbow yesterday  
     C                           G  
But to many storms have come and gone  
          D                         A  
Leaving a trace of not one God giving ray  
     C                             G  
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey  
D                              A   
I pray all ten fade away  
             C                            G   
Seldom praise him for the seven days  
            D  
And like his promise is true  
         A  
Only my faith can undo  
     D                        A  
The many chances I blew  
     C                           G  
To bring my life to anew  
          D                         A  
Clear and blue and unconditional  
     C                             G  
Skies have dried the tears from my eyes  
    C                        G   
No more lonely cries

 Don't go chasing waterfalls  
     C                           G  
Please stick to the rivers  
          D                         A  
And the lakes that you're used to  
     C                             G  
I know that you're gonna have it  
D                              A   
Your way or nothing at all  
             C                            G   
But I think your moving too fast

Your way or nothing at all  
             C                            G
