Intro:
-----
Em C G     Em C G


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


Chorus 1:
---------
        Em
I say
             C
Running river
         G          Em 
Take me home
             C
Running river
         G
Take me home


Verse 2:
--------
         G              G
You were born to live a life
         C                      G
Passing by you at the speed of light
               C                  Em
You're always wrong, and never right
           C         D
A spinning world and satellite
          G                 G
So sing a song for love and grace
        C                        G
Write a screenplay for the human race
          C           Em
A tale of tragedy and waste
             C                   D
To wipe that smile from off your face



Chorus 2:
---------
        Em
I say
             C
Running river
         G          Em 
Take me home
             C              G       Em
Back to the town that I came from
          C               G        
To how it was when I was young
                       Em
Under timeless skies
             C
Running river
          D
Take me home
                         G
Back to a world where I belong

Bridge:
-------
G                G
(Oh running river run run run)
G                G
(Oh running river run run, run)
C                G 
(Oh running river, oh running river)
Em                D
(Oh running river run run run)        X2



Chorus 3:
---------
Em               C

Take me home
Em               C             G          
     Back to the town that I came from
Em             C               D/A            
     To how it was when I was young
         D    D    D    
Under timeless skies
Em               C
Oh running river run run run
D/A              D          D D D     
Oh running river run run run

Em          C
Running river           (Palm muted short strums)
D/A         D
Running river           (Palm muted short strums)
                        
Em          C
Running river           (Back to single strum)
G
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

    G        G        G        G        C        Em       C        D

 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:

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


and therefore verse chords can be interpreted and played as:

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