Verse 
D 
My friend, my friend, you are traveling 
D 
So many secrets are unraveling 
A                           G 
Some other picture's coming into view 
D 
I seen the water washing over you 
D 
and the water's speaking now, it speaks your name 
D 
I hear it talking to me sometimes when it rains 
A                     G 
Telling me a story of joy or pain 
             D 
But I've got no regrets baby, I've got no shame 


              G 
'Cause we are water 
            D 
We flow and flow 
           G 
I feel you pouring through 
           D 
Every inch of my soul and 
              A 
I really must tell you this 
             Bm 
Baby, before you go 
       G 
We are water 
            D 
We flow and flow 

D 
I am a river baby, I've got plenty of time 
D 
I don't know where I'm going I'm just following the lines 
A                                  G 
There's just no telling where this river will flow 
         D 
I got no choice in the matter, baby, 
D 
I just go where it goes 
D 
I'm making my bed tonight right under this cloud 
D 
Sometimes the lightening's so frightening 
D 
Sometimes the thunder's so loud 
A                                 G 
Still, I know this tide is always kissing my heels 
D 
Someimes I think I'm drowning in all these things that I feel 

 
D 
Out on the beach today, I did not find 
D 
One single footstep that we left behind 
A                         G 
So I went swimming in the deep blue sea 
            D 
and I could feel that water all around me 

        A

            Bm 
We flow and flow 
G           D 
We flow and flow
