D# A# A lonely mother gazing out of her window C# G# Staring at a son that she just can't touch D# A# If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side C# G# But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much But all the praying just ain't helping at all 'Cause he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how Another body lying cold in the gutter Listen to me Chorus: D# A# Don't go chasing waterfalls C# Please stick to the rivers G# and the lakes that you're used to D# I know that you're gonna have it A# your way or nothing at all C# G# But I think you're moving too fast Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation But he just can't see She gives him loving that his body can't handle But all he can say is, "Baby it's good to me" One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror But he doesn't recognize his own face His health is fading and he doesn't know why Three letters took him to his final resting place Y'all don't hear me Chorus: Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast Don't go chasing waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all But I think you're moving too fast You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C#  D#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
