Julie Miller   I Know Why The River Runs written by Julie Miller 

C  Dm   F   G      C  Dm   F   G

       C        Dm        F  
When I reach to hold you
G              C   Dm F G
I'll still be alone
       C        Dm      F  G            C Dm F G
When I hear the ringin     of the telephone
Dm               F
I'll think it is you
Dm              F      G
It will not be true
Am     F        C    G
I know why the river runs
     Am              F     C  G
To a place somewhere far away
Am     F       C       G 
I know why the sky is cryin
           Am         F         C      G   
When there aren't any words to say

Am F C G  Am F C G

        C        Dm       F  G                C  Dm F G  
I could play the message    that you left for me
      C         Dm        F G                 C  Dm F G
I can hear your voice and   I could still believe
Dm                    F
That you will soon me home
Dm                  F     G
But you will never come
Am     F        C    G
I know why the river runs
     Am              F     C  G
To a place somewhere far away
Am     F       C       G 
I know why the sky is cryin
           Am         F         C      G   
When there aren't any words to say

Am F C G  

Am                       F             Am
There's a silence that I don't want to hear
Am                          G
There's a hole now where my heart used to be
F                              Am
They say that healing comes in time
      G                       F            
But I don't know what that means

SOLO

  Dm               F
I lie here for so long
  Dm               F     G
But you will never come
Am     F        C    G
I know why the river runs
     Am              F     C    G
To a place somewhere far away
Am     F       C       G 
I know why the sky is cryin
           Am         F         C      G   
When there aren't any words to say
Am     F        C    G
I know why the river runs
     Am              F      C    G
To a place somewhere far away
Am     F       C       G 
I know why the sky is cryin
           Am         F         C      G   
When there aren't any words to say

Am F C G 

           Am         F        C     G
When there aren't any words to say

Am F C G

           Am         F        C  G
When there aren't any words to say
