Intro:
[—–]

Verse:

------

There are songs beyond the sky
Missing melodies to find
You got stars inside your eyes
Tiny parts of holy lies
There are mountains on the sun
Where the ancient horses run
All tryin’ to find where they went wrong
So they can see how far they’ve come

Chorus 1:

---------

I say
Running river
Take me home
Running river
Take me home

Verse 2:

--------

You were born to live a life
Passing by you at the speed of light
You’re always wrong, and never right
A spinning world and satellite
So sing a song for love and grace
Write a screenplay for the human race
A tale of tragedy and waste
To wipe that smile from off your face

Chorus 2:

---------

I say
Running river
Take me home
Back to the town that I came from
To how it was when I was young
Under timeless skies
Running river
Take me home
Back to a world where I belong

Bridge:

-------

(Oh running river run run run)
(Oh running river run run, run)
(Oh running river, oh running river)
(Oh running river run run run) X2

Chorus 3:

---------

Running river
Take me home
Back to the town that I came from
To how it was when I was y[D/A]oung
Under timeless skies
Oh running river run run run
[D/A]Oh running river run run run

Running river (Palm muted short strums)
[D/A]Running river (Palm muted short strums)

Running river (Back to single strum)
Take me hooooooooome

Lead Guitar – I put an extra space between counts for clarity.

----------- Timing should actually be consistent all the way through.

@VERSES – each count 4 sets

Chorus 3 if you want to.

Appendix

--------

Though the Verse chords I put down is what sounds right as I play and sing along,
I do acknowledge that the bass notes, however, are infact:

There are songs beyond the sky
Missing melodies to find
You got stars inside your eyes
Tiny parts of holy lies

and therefore verse chords can be interpreted and played as:

There are songs beyond the sky
Missing melodies to find
You got stars inside your eyes
Tiny parts of holy lies
