[Intro] C  G  Bb  F7M 

[Primeira Parte]

    C                 G  
A lonely mother gazining out of the window
         Bb                             F7M 
Staring at her son that she just can't touch
            C                           G 
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
                  Bb                   F7M 
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
C                                G
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
              Bb                         F7M 
Cuz he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
                   C 
So he goes out and he makes his money
          G 
The best way he knows how
          Bb                    F7M   
Another body layin cold in the gutter

Listen to me

[Refrão]

C                 G   
Don't go chasing waterfalls
                       Bb 
Please stick to the rivers
                          F7M 
And the lakes that you're used to
                    C 
I know that you're gonna have it
              G 
Your way or nothing at all
                    Bb             F7M 
But I think you're moving too fast

[Segunda Parte]

C                      G 
Little precious has a natural obsession
         Bb                 F7M 
For temptation but he just can't see
                C 
She gives him loving that his body
        G                    Bb 
Can't handle but all he can say
         F7M 
Is "baby is good to me"
C                               G               
One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror
               Bb               F7M 
But he doesn't recognize his own face
      C                       G 
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Bb                          F7M 
3 letters took him to his final resting place

Y'all don't you hear me
