C 
I'm feeling older than my years 
            G              C 
I'm feeling pain inside my chest 
C 
It's love that keeps me silent 
        G                C 
It's my silence that you detest 
F 
Rivers flow into the oceans 
                 F 
And oceans never fill 
C                               G            C 
I want to kiss your lips, but I know I never will 

F                                        C 
Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke 
C                      
But love will keep you wishing 
       G                  C 
And my heart will keep me broke 


C                                 G            C 
I blew flowers, gave you candy to even out the guilt 
                                             G             C 
I sent you greeting cards with messages that I could never write 
       F  
Rivers flow into the oceans 
                 C 
And oceans never fill 
C 
I want to let you know me 
      G            C 
But I know I never will 


F                                        C 
Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke 
C                      
But love will keep you wishing 
       G                  C 
And my heart will keep me broke 


C 
You will always want me 
         G              C 
And I'll always want to leave 
     C        
Even though I cut your wounds 
    G                  C 
You still deny they're real 
       F 
Rivers flow into the ocean 
             C 
Oceans never fill 
C         
I want to lay my life down 
      G              C 
But I know you never will 


F                                        C 
Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke 
C                      
But love will keep you wishing 
       G                  C 
And my heart will keep me broke 

C                             G                  C 
Baby, don't you cry, 'cause I got it all figured out 
C       
You always make me sad 
                G                C 
But that's what true love is all about 
       F  
Rivers never fill the oceans 
                  C 
But oceans always feel 
C                   
The waters reaching deep inside them 
G                   C 
I guess they always will 

F                                              C 
Love's a constant mission to a world you never spoke 
C 
Love, it keeps you wishing 
   G                  C 
My heart, it keeps me broke...
