[Em7]Wake in a cold sweat
[Em7]Nightmare by my bed
[Em7]Waiting for the rider
[Em7]Wondering through my head

[Am7]Born in a bad storm

[Em7]There's a full moon rising out tonight
[Em7]Might make me crazy but that's all right
[Em7]Long as I find some peace of mine
[Em7]I'm going back to the river to take my time

[Em7]When I get back to the river
