           Am              F     C
If you're looking for the big adventure
     Am                F        C
and gold is all that's on your mind
            Am                F         C
If all you want's someone to take your picture
     Am       F          C
then I won't waste your time.

See, maybe I’m too quiet for you
You’ve probably never noticed me
But if you’re too big to follow rivers
How you ever gonna find the sea?

Chorus:
          Em               F
So follow me i'll be your river, river
C                        G
I'll do the running for you
       Em               F
follow me i'll be your river, river
C                        G
i'll move the mountains for you
       Em                F
follow me, i'll be your river, river
C                      G
i'm here to keep you floating
       Em
follow me
              F            C             G
i'll be your river river. River, river, yeah

If all you want are answers to your questions
And you can’t seem to find no love for free
If you’re looking for the right direction,
then darling look for me

See, I can make the load much lighter
I just need you to confide in me
But if you’re too proud to follow rivers
How you ever gonna find the sea?

Chorus

    Dm                    Fm                 C
Wherever you're standing, I will be by your side
             Dm                          Fm               C
through the good, through the bad, i'll never be hard to find
       Dm                   Fm                 C
so wherever you're standing I will be by your side
             Dm                          Fm               C
through the good, through the bad, i'll never be hard to find

Chorus


    Dm                    Fm                 C
Wherever you're standing, I will be by your side
             Dm                          Fm               C
Through the good, through the bad, I'll never be hard to find
