A E7 G D
Verse 1
A A lonely mother gazing E7 out of her window
Staring G at a son that she just can't D touch
If at any A time he's in a jam, she'll be E7 by his side
But he doesn't G realize he hurts her so D much
A But all the praying just ain't E7 helping at all
'cause he can't G seem to keep his self out of D trouble
So he goes out A and he makes his money the best E7 way he knows how
Another G body laying cold in the D gutter listen to me
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
Verse 2
A Little precious has a E7 natural obsession
For temp-Gtation but he just can't D see
A She gives him loving that his E7 body can't handle
But all G he can say is "baby it's D good to me"
A One day he goes and takes a E7 glimpse in the mirror
But he G doesn't recognize his own D face
A His health is fading and he E7 doesn't know why
3 letters G took him to his final D resting place y'all don't hear me?
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
