[INTRO]

D C#m Em D
D C#m Em D

[Verse 1]

D     C#m    Em          D
Had a dream, you weren't in it
D     C#m   Em    D
Butterflies in my stomach
G                                D       C#m Em D
And a feeling that something was missing

D     C#m  Em     D
Saw a deer in the garden
D       C#m Em    D
Licking up  dirty water
G                           D       C#m Em D
As I cut up the meat in the kitchen

[Chorus 1]

        G        G/F#     A        Asus4
When we hit that stream I held you high
G       G/F#        A     Asus4
Set you down on the other side
G        G/F#   A         Asus4    D    C#m Em D
Years go by and I'm still carrying you

[Verse 2]

D      C#m   Em    D
Read a book, hit a bottle
D      C#m  Em     D
Took a pill for my troubles
G                          D       C#m Em D
Some years are better than others
D    C#m      Em     D
Many objects, little permanence
D        C#m      Em     D
Like the stars up in the firmament
G                                      D       C#m Em D
Might be dead when their light finally reaches you

[Chorus 2]

        G        G/F#     A        Asus4
When we hit that stream I held you high
G       G/F#        A     Asus4
Set you down on the other side
G        G/F#   A         Asus4    D   C#m Em D
Years go by and I'm still carrying you

[Bridge]

          A
I put you down
        G/B
Put you away
             G
You're still around
        Em                    A             D     C#m Em D
But I'm trying to live in the present tense today

D C#m Em D

[Chorus 3]

        G        G/F#     A        Asus4
When we hit that stream I held you high
G       G/F#        A     Asus4
Set you down on the other side
G        G/F#   A         Asus4    D   C#m Em D
Years go by and I'm still carrying you

[Chorus 4]

        G        G/F#     A        Asus4
When we hit that stream I held you high
G       G/F#        A     Asus4
Set you down on the other side
G        G/F#   A         Asus4        G G/F#
Years go by and I'm still carrying you

[Outro]

A              G    G/F#
Still carrying you
A              G    G/F#
Still carrying you
     A                  D    C#m Em D
Well I'm still carrying you
