Verse 1

(N.C.) I went down to the river flowing out unto the sea on my way to the ocean let the spirit swallow me. Am G I got low down in the water C D I let the current guide my bones Am G Ive got nine kinds of trouble D Im just trying to find my way home.

Riff

Verse 2

Am G Over twenty-some years of living C D and a thousand wasted days Am G I have loved a lot of women D Many times Ive gone wrong ways Am G And I came down to the water C D For a dip, To cleanse my soul. Am G They keep telling me that Im just a babe D But baby, why do I feel so old?....

Instr

Am - G - C D

Pre-Chorus

Am D This is the verge of a breakthrough C E its a fine line that cannot be bent Am D and I felt like I river run dry C E but I dont know where all of the rainwater went Am D And I believed we were all dead or dying C E but I see different in the blue light Am D there is no such thing as a dawn or a dusk C E it is daylight until it is night

Chorus

Am D Youve got to fight through the dimming C E Youve got to run into the west Am D Youve go to rage against the dying of the light C E Live for the moment thats left Am D Youve got to fight through the dimming C E Youve got to run into the west Am D Youve go to rage against the dying of the light C E Live for the moment thats left

Post-Chorus

F Cause there is no such thing as a dying man Am Were alive till the moment were dead F and a drowning man is just a living man E Who hasnt run out of his last bit of breath.
