Chords
Bb Ab Bb Ab
[Verse 1]
Bb A lonely mother gazing out of the window
Staring Abat her son that she just can't touch
If at any Bbtime he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
But he doesn't Abrealize he hurts her so much
Bb But all the praying just ain't helping at all
Cause he can't Abseem to keep his self out of trouble
So he goes out Bband he makes his money the best way he knows how
Another Abbody laying cold in the gutter
Listen to me
[Chorus]
BbDon't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the Abrivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're Bbgonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're Abmoving too fast
[Verse 2]
Bb Little precious has a natural obsession for tempAbtation
But he just can't see
Bb She gives him loving that his body can't handle
But all Abhe can say is, "Baby it's good to me"
Bb One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror
But he Abdoesn't recognize his own face
Bb His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters Abtook him to his final resting place
Y'all, don't hear me
[Chorus 2]
BbDon't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the Abrivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're Bbgonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're Abmoving too fast
BbDon't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the Abrivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're Bbgonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're Abmoving too fast
[Breakdown]
Bb I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms have come and gone
Leaving a trace of not one Godgiven Abray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray, all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
Bb And like his promise is true
Only my faith can undo the many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
Ab Clear and blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My Bbonly bleeding hope
Is for the folk who can't cope with such an enduring pain
That it keeps them in the pouring rain
Ab Who's to blame for tooting 'caine into your own vein
What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
BbClaim the insane
And name this day in time
For falling prey to crime
I say the system's got you victim to your own mind
Ab Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true
Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you
[Chorus/Outro]
BbDon't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the Abrivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're Bbgonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're Abmoving too fast
BbDon't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the Abrivers and the lakes that you're used to
[Fade Out]
I know that you're Bbgonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're Abmoving too fast
