6/8 D A D D

              D                                                      G
There've been times in my life when I've felt out of touch and half- crazy
A                                             D
Lost in a crowd with lovers and friends by my side

          D                                                 G
There's a numbness I've known, all alone in some shimmering city
     A                                                   D
With bright lights around me and nothing but shadows in- -side

              G                       Bm                      D                       G
There've been desperate times when my heart was so dry that I felt like my life was a curse
      D                         A                  D
I was standin' knee deep in the river and dyin' of thirst

          D                                                  G
There are months at a time when no reason nor rhyme can sus- tain me
     A                                                D
When nothin' makes sense and everything turns upside- down

          D                                                    G
There are nights when I fight to keep dreamin' from driving me crazy
      A                                                 D
And I shut off my mind just to keep it from spinnin' a- round

         G                          Bm                         D                           G
But it's down in that quiet in that stillness I find the sweet water for which I've longed searched
      D                         A                  D      B
While standin' knee deep in the river and dyin' of thirst

      E                                                        A
So if you're having times when you feel out of touch and half- crazy
B                                               E
Lost in a crowd with lovers and friends by your side

       E                                                         A
If the game's getting old and you're cold and exhausted and may- be
      B                                                E
You'd just like to cop-out and crumble or lay down and die

       A                       C#m                         E                          A
If you come to a time when you need to decide, friend, you might want to ask yourself first
     E                         B                  E
Am I standin' knee deep in the river and dyin' of thirst?

                 C#m                       A                            E                      A
'Cause there's a great river runs from the heart of the sun through the soul of the whole uni- verse
         C#m                         A                      E                       B
From the limitless light that brings order and might to the substance of Heaven and Earth

         C#m                         A                           E                          A
And it's down in that quiet, in that stillness inside, there's a well we don't seek 'til we hurt
     E                         B                  E
From standin' knee deep in the river and dyin' of thirst

     C#m                         A                          E                         A
Yes, down in that quiet, in that stillness inside are sweet waters to heal this whole Earth ---
        E                         B      E                         B
That is standin' knee deep in the river, standin' knee deep in the river
          E                         B                  A
We're all standin' knee deep in the river and dyin' of thirst
