I Am The River Ukulele tab

	  Verse 
      Em                         Am 
I was called to attention, I was stowed in the line 
      C                                   D 
I was told when to wake and rest and that time wasn't mine 
      Em                            Am 
I was everyone's victim, though I'm holding the gun 
        C                        D 
At some soft-faced stranger, who hates my father's son but who am I? 

Em Am C D 

Verse 
       Em                           Am 
I ve resolved all my reasonings for finally giving up 
      C                                     D 
Til i swallowed down this paper and pen and spit this song back up 
          Em                                 Am 
I've been waiting in the background, singing songs to just myself 
          C                                  D 
About the world in which we live in, and its deteriorating health 


Bridge 
           Bm 
But who am I? 
       C 
Who am I? 
       Bm 
Who am I? 
       C    D 
Who am I?! 


Chorus 
Em                       Am 
I am the mountain you're running up 
Em                  C                      D 
I am the river that flows and floods, that flows and floods 
Em                    Am 
I am the sky, you are wind and dust 
Em                    C             D 
I'm giving hate but i wanna love, i wanna love it all

Em Am C D 

Verse 
       Em                         Am 
I have tried every angle, done my job and played my part 
           C                             D 
Until they found me in the corner, lying with my guilty heart 
                Em                            Am 
Cause I ve been calling all your calls, wondering if its my fault 
           C            D 
Could i be wrong? could I?

Em                       Am 
I am the mountain you're running up 
Em                  C                      D 
I am the river that flows and floods, that flows and floods 
Em                    Am 
I am the sky, you are wind and dust 
Em                    C             D 
I'm giving hate but i wanna love, i wanna love it all 


Breakdown 
Em 
We've been running since the day we were born 
Am 
We learn our lessons or learn to be scorned 
C 
This is my pen it doesn't write for you 
        D 
Now the chapter is closed, yes its sad but true 
Em 
We've been living everyday we're alive 
Am 
We grow up weak or we learn to survive 
C 
A name's a name and its all just the same 
D 
When the bottom falls out we're gonna find whose to blame cuz

I am the river that flows and floods, that flows and floods 
Em                    Am 
I am the sky, you are wind and dust 
Em                    C             D
