Intro:
A E7 G D
[Verse 1]
A E7
A lonely mother gazing out of her window
G D
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
A E7
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
G D
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
A E7
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
G D
'cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
A E7
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
G D
Another body laying cold in the gutter (listen to me)
|[Chorus]
|A E7
| Don't go chasing waterfalls
| G D
|Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
| A E7
|I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
| G
|But I think you're moving too fast [D]
[Verse 2]
A E7
Little precious has a natural obsession
G D
For temp-tation but he just can't see
A E7
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
G D
But all he can say is "baby it's good to me"
A E7
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
G D
But he doesn't recognize his own face
A E7
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
G D
3 letters took him to his final resting place (y'all don't hear me?)
|[Chorus]
|A E7
| Don't go chasing waterfalls
| G D
|Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
| A E7
|I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
| G
|But I think you're moving too fast [D]
|[Acapella Chorus]
|[A*] Don't go chasing [E7*] waterfalls
|Please stick to the [G*] rivers and the lakes that you're [D*] used to
|I know that you're [A*] gonna have it your way or [E7*] nothing at all
|But I think you're [G*] moving too fast [D*]
|[Chorus]
|A E7
| Don't go chasing waterfalls
| G D
|Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
| A E7
|I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
| G
|But I think you're moving too fast [D]
