B                                E             B   F#
I want to ride the river but the river is dry, too dry
B                                   E             B   F#
We tried to climb a mountain but we got too high, too high
B                           E
Like foam from the lip of a rabid dog
B                          F#
We cling to a promise with lungs full of smog
D#m                               E             B   F#
I want to ride the river, but the river is dry, too dry

[Chorus]

G#m    E     F#
Oh, my sweet Lord
B                        F# E
This could be a paradise
B                        F# E
This could be a paradise
G#m                E
But we're skin and bone
    B             F#
Our teeth are all gone
B        E          F#
Oh, this could be a paradise


[Verse 2]

B                                E             B   F#
I want to ride the river but the river is dry, too dry
D#m                                 E             B   F#
We tried to climb a mountain but we got too high, too high
D#m                            E
How low can you go when you're held by the spell?
B                         F#
Dig a little deeper for a new kind of hell
B                         E           B F#
Dig a little deeper for a new kind of hell


[Pre-Chorus]

G#m    E     F#
Oh, my sweet Lord
G#m                       E       F#
You don't call to say you love me anymore


[Chorus]

B                        F# E
This could be a paradise
B                        F# E
This could be a paradise
G#m                E
But we're skin and bone
    B             F#
Our teeth are all gone
B        E          F#
Oh, this could be a paradise
B                        F# E
This could be a paradise
G#m                E
But we're skin and bone
    B             F#
Our teeth are all gone
B        E          F#
Oh, this could be a paradise


[Bridge]

B C#m E C#m G#m F#

B      C#m            E
It was heaven knowing you
C#m    G#m            F#
It was heaven knowing you
B      C#m            E
It was heaven knowing you

It was heaven knowing you, yeah


[Chorus]

This could be a paradise
B                        F# E
This could be a paradise

Our teeth are all gone

Oh, this could be a paradise
