Intro: (Bm)  (G)  (D)  (D)
 
(D) Everyday I (Bm) swim an ocean,
(D) Fightin' your memory like (G) endless (A) waves
(Bm) I surrender to the truth, 
(G) I'll always love you,
(Em7) but I know some(Asus2)day (A)

I'm gonna (Bm) reach the (A) banks of a (D) distant (G) shore,
Where (Em7) I won't (Bm) miss you (G) any(D)more

(D) Once in a while I (Bm) ride the river,
(D) Of whiskey wishes (G) from an old shot (A) glass
(Bm) But the way it used to be
(G) follows me downstream,
(Em7) So I keep knockin' em (Asus2) back (A)

Till I (Bm) reach the (A) banks of a (D) distant (G) shore, 
Where (Em7) I won't (Bm) miss you (G) any(D)more

(Bm)   (G)   (D)  Someday I'm gonna get (D) there,
(Bm)   (G)   (D)  It might take my (A) last prayer

(D) One of these days I'm gonna (Bm) cross that ocean,
(D) Some sweet angel will (G) set me (A) free
(Bm) And they'll tell my stories,
(G) Sing a song about glory, 
(Em7) And read Psalm 2(Asus2)3 (A)

When I (Bm) reach the (A) banks of that (D) distant (G) shore, 
Where (Em7) I won't (Bm) miss you (G) any(D)more

Gonna (Bm) rest my (A) soul in the (D) hands of the (G) Lord, 
Where (Em7) I won't (Bm) miss you (G) any(D)more 

(Bm)  (G)  (D)  (D)
