D C/D Bb Csus4
D Dm7
The weather man he looks confused
C G/A D
Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do
Dm7
But you don't remember things like that do you
C G/A D
The balance was uneven but I'm breaking through
C G D
Slow rivers run cold
C G F G
Shallow waters never sank so low
Bb F C
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know
C F C/E G
You're a slow river and you run so cold
The winter here don't believe in God
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog
I still see your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog
But one foot in your door oh that's all I ever got
G C
Chances are you'll reappear
D Em
Swim my way in a flood of tears
F C
No place to hide your conscience so
C Dsus4 D
You're a sinking ship with no place to go
