Am       G             F
Father, my wings are clipped,
          C                  F G Fmaj7  G
see the steps that made me trip
Dm          F   G
Now I'm so lonely
Am       C              F
Mother, time's frozen flames
         C             F  G Fmaj7  G
seem to linger in the rain
Dm         F G  F
Holding me only

Chorus:
        C               Dm
Like a river I'm flowing
             F          G    F
and there's no way of knowing
        C              Dm
If I'm coming or going,
        F             G       Am
I need something to chain me down
      C/G  Fmaj7   Csus4 G/B  Am       C/G
Don't matter,   my eyes  have seen for better
Fmaj7    G          Am G F G Am G F G
Out of blue comes green

Mother, I have gone wrong
Work my fingers to the bone
All I've been doing
Father, proud that I am
To be born into such hands
Your love so renewing

Chorus:
And I know I can lose it
Part of life, you can't choose it
As I touched the horizon
It just felt like I'd die soon
Don't matter
My eyes have seen
For better
Out of blue comes green

And like a river I'm flowing
I need something to chain me down
Don't matter
And now I've seen
For better
Out of, out of blue comes green
Don't matter
Out of blue comes green
