Verse 1:
D A
A lonely mother gazining out of the window
C G
Staring at her son that she just can't touch
D A
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
C G
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
D A
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
C G
Cuz he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
D
So he goes out and he makes his money
A
The best way he knows how
C G
Another body layin cold in the gutter
Listen to me
D A
Don't go chasing waterfalls
C
Please stick to the rivers
G
And the lakes that you're used to
D
I know that you're gonna have it
A
Your way or nothing at all
C G
But I think you're moving too fast
verse 2 (the same as the rest of the song)
Little precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body
Can't handle but all he can say
Is "baby is good to me"
One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place...
Y'all don't you hear me
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it
Your way or nothing at all
But I think your moving too fast
Come on
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But to many storms have come and gone
Leaving a trace
Of not one God giving ray
Is it because
My life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise him for the seven days
And like his promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anew
Clear and blue and unconditional
Skies have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it
Your way or nothing at all
But I think your moving too fast
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it
Your way or nothing at all
But I think your moving too fast
